Fret Dimensions

[atilla]

Hey, does anybody here have any info on the fret dimensions of a Model 4 or 375 Deluxe? I'm really thinking about having Carvin whip up a new guitar for me, and would like the frets to feel as much like my Charvels as possible...

Well, I think they had medium-jumbos, but I don't know it for sure...!

ask for 6100's that will be as close as you can get.

Thank you much!

If you're getting a Carvin try stainless frets! They're sexy

I just refretted a Model guitar, the frets were .115 x .045. Width of a Dunlop 6000, but not as tall. The 6100's are around .110 wide.
6110 is probably the closest size, but it is not a very common wire.

You know, I thought pretty hard about that. The sales dude said they'd probably brighten my tone a bit, and I'm aiming for a slightly darker sound than I have now.

By the way, I went with swamp ash with a clear gloss finish, a Floyd and a 14-inch radius.

Sounds nice man. Let us know how she plays. Oh and post pics too! As for the frets, I would go 6100's. No SS for me.
