My son has a Silver Sky that is several years old. I like the fret size on his guitar. On my newer Silver Sky, they made the frets bigger. I initially liked it because I felt it helped you when you slide into a note to not overshoot the fret. But now I feel that they are a little too big. When you run your hand up and down the neck, the frets stick up and feel more in the way and they hit your fingers.
My older Strat from the 80's had the smaller frets. When Fender went with the taller frets on their newer Strats and Tele's, I liked it. I have no problem with the fret size on my Professional Telecaster. The frets offer a more defined fret feel while not being too big. I
In addition, I find my newer Gibson 335, and 1989 Les Paul frets also to be just fine and what I expect. So, with comparing all these guitars to the fret size on the current Silver Sky and my newer Mcarty 594, the PRS frets I notice more when playing than all my other guitars, and not in a good way. The frets don't blend with the neck, they stick up, are hard, and hit your fingers more than all my other guitars. Bear in mind, I'm not saying its not playable, as you do get used to it after playing them for a while and you end up not noticing it as much. But when I switch to my other guitars and then go back to the PRS guitars, I really notice it again. Does anyone else find the same thing?
