Offset dot inlays? More colors? Chambered 5-string bass bodies? Contoured heels? Headless?
Some of those will absolutely not happen in 2026 (if ever). And others.......just possibly......might.

Since you guys are all so special, I'll stop alluding. There is many a slip twixt a cup and a lip, but it is our intent for this to happen.
And just to fuel the fire, watch this clip of me performing with my 40th Anniversary Meadowhawk and imagine such a guitar could be yours:

So you want slightly smaller jumbo frets?...
They don't offer jumbo. It's a few medium jumbos and super jumbo. They use Jescar frets but Dunlop nomenclature because it's more popular (even though Jescar's makes more sense with the numbers being height and width). For Jescar 58118 they call it 6100 probably because that's what most people have seen on paper and they figure close enough. They don't offer 57110/6100.So you want slightly smaller jumbo frets?...

Ok, but the jescar 58118 Warmoth offers as Super Jumbo (6100) on their info page, or 6100 - Jumbo in their builders, is exactly what I imagine when think of jumbo frets and what I wished for on my 7/8 S. I didn't think of it as some protected term.
And isn't it more important, that the dimensions are correct? I found them and the descriptions more meaningful than those 6xxx designations.
My question meant to ask, if you want slightly smaller frets, than what Warmoth offers as 6100 - Jumbo, or if you want Warmoth to get the designations "right".
Funfact: While the difference in width between the 57110 and the 58118 is noticeable (0.008" or 0.2mm) - the 58118 is roughly 7% wider - the difference in height is splitting hairs. I mean literally: 0.001" or 0.0254mm is half the thickness of an average human hair!

If you don't like 6100, try 6115.
I'm talking about actual 6100. The misnaming thing is weird but ultimately trivial.Ok, but the jescar 58118 Warmoth offers as Super Jumbo (6100) on their info page, or 6100 - Jumbo in their builders, is exactly what I imagine when think of jumbo frets and what I wished for on my 7/8 S.

No I do like 6100. That's the point.
They really should fix it. But yeah I was thinking "6115" (they made that one up 
) might be a good alternative.
I don't see them on the vendor lineup. So I doubt it. I never heard any announcement saying they would be there.

Not sure they "made up" 6115. Suhr and Tom Anderson offer 6115. They are "peaked" for more precise intonation.I'm talking about actual 6100. The misnaming thing is weird but ultimately trivial.
