SS6115 Frets

[Afd1469]

I have had SS 6105 and like those, but my USA Schecter PT’s have Jescar SS that measure .112 x .054.

I’m thinking to go with the SS6115’s, which are .108 x .051.  The 6100 Warmoth May be a little big for me and I can somethings be a little heavy handed, so I’m working in my grip.  I don’t want the higher strings going sharp on me.

What do you think?  Will the SS6115s be a good transition for my needs?

What about the “triangle” aspect of these?  Anyone find the shape cause some getting used to?

Thanks!

That fret size was appealing to me when I first got into Warmoth parts. I don’t know what it was, the unique to Warmoth part I guess. I have also played SS6150 and SS6105, but my preference is most certainly the 6100 size. I can play better and more accurately, and I feel like I have “more to grab” with the bigger wire and can really control a note or group of notes. It’s more emotive, I can really dig in. Everybody is different! The SS6115 are my second-favorite and still offer a nice diggable or grabby feel, just not as much as the fatties.

I normally chose 6230 but to me 6115 plays and feels quite similar with the narrow tops. The extra size encourages a lighter touch and gives a springy feel ......the advantages of a large wire with the feel I like. I’m about 50/50 between the two. Good luck.

I am a big fan of the 6115 size.  I tend not to be a strangler, so the height of the frets is not a big deal to me.  As I play higher up the neck, I feel like the narrowness of the 6115 vs. the 6100 gives me a little more room to fret the note.  I have thick-ish, stubby fingers, so precise placement of my fingertips when chording higher up on the neck can be challenging, and the tiny bit of extra space afforded by the 6115 is, for me, an advantage.

Been a long time fan of the 6100, for about 30 years, but I find the SS6115 appealing as they are about the same height, but already have that "crowned" profile, so fret leveling/crowning will go that much faster to accomplish more precise intonation.
