What will the new year bring?

Not sure they "made up" 6115. Suhr and Tom Anderson offer 6115. They are "peaked" for more precise intonation.

Actually, they are peaked for your pleasure.

There's no Dunlop 6115. It's Jescar 51108.

JESCAR Guitar - Fret Wire

Jescar’s World Famous Fret Wire There are many different fret wire profiles available, from small to large, low to high, narrow to wide, oval to round to triangular, all affecting the playing characteristics and feel of the instrument. Brass frets from days past have given way to today’s...

Now I'm even more baffled that they use Dunlop numbering for Jescar frets.

Well, if you compare the Dunlop chart and their Warmoth counterparts, you will notice that all of them except the 6230 have different dimension. However, Warmoth says:

"The dimensions posted for each fretwire are the most accurate indication of size. The Dunlop numbers added in parenthesis are an approximate reference point only."

And also: With the tolerances written in the Dunlop chart, there might even be 6100 and 6000 that are exactly the same.

And it get's worse: I've found different dunlop charts like this, indicating the dimensions might have changed over the years.

I dunno, man. Looks like quite the rabbit hole to me.

I stand corrected. 'Looks like Warmoth did come up with the "6115" number.
Aaron??
I went and looked at the Suhr website to refresh my memory. They offer the 6115 fret size but do not call it "6115". They just list the size (.051×.108).

Please lawd, the Modern heel options, like Music Man, Anderson, Suhr or even Fender has it too. We know the capability is there with the limited meadowhawk sets, now we just need it with neck profile options and maybe other bodies?

Is the side-adjust truss rod adjustment really that popular? I've never had a desire for it (I like a headstock access), and that is the only thing that is not compatible with the modern contoured heel.
