Hello.
I had a little bit of time to play my new PS guitar today. I didn't specify frets for the guitar, but they feel the same as the standard core guitar frets. In turn, these feel very similar to the standard Gibson Les Paul frets. (and similar to those I have on a Schecter) These frets have an awesome feel. Just high and wide enough, and nicely rounded.
On the other hand, the frets on the McCarty Single Cut Private Stocks feel different than anything I've felt. They feel even higher than the core frets, but seem to have a flattened top. This makes them less rounded and more rectangular, and almost seems to create an edge that the string slides against. I feel like there is more friction with bends and vibrato due to this. Also, the height of the frets feels like it slows down my slides.
I haven't heard ANYTHING negative about these frets, (and in fact much of the opposite!) I love everything else about the guitar, and I'm thinking that perhaps I just need to spend more time with them.
Would be interested in any input, and if anybody has some actual fret sizes.
Thank you!
Kevin
