That is sharp! But, 6230 frets? That's like bus wire. Are you some kinda fretless wannabe?  :icon_biggrin:

 

[Seamas]

My main guitar is a '53 Martin with frets just about that size.

I hardly ever play the Strat I have because the frets (and fb radius) annoy the living shit out of me.

Part of my intention here is to mimic some of the aesthetic of my Martin (00-17), make it similar in playability (as much as you can do with a strat and scale length)

 

[Cagey]

I understand. You have to play what you're comfortable with or you won't play.

I go to the opposite extreme (6100s), which some people would have trouble with.

HEY! I resemble that!!
(I feel for ya Bro, biggest I'll go is 6105, got used to the small stuff on my H2. To me, anything bigger feels like railroad tracks...)
