Most rock-oriented guitars of the 80's to today use jumbo frets... in the day they were bass frets.Quote:

I learned a lesson about fret height a few months ago.
I have an old 1970 Regent Les paul custom copy that i played for years but the frets got badly worn from bending strings. So i decided to sand down the frets with 20" of sandpaper glued to a straight piece of aluminum. I guess i took all the frets down close to 0.010" to get all the low spots out.
But playing it it seemed different.. my fingers would slip over the strings when doing bends and vibrato.
Now i realize that you need higher frets on a blues or rock guitar or the strings slip under your fingers.

The LP's of the early 50s were called "fretless wonders" for their relatively low height. Takes getting used to, and if your fingertips aren't callused, you may "note out". In the 60's Moserite made guitars with very low frets. Great for sliding up and down the neck. I'm not too partial to the "sound" or "feel" of them...
