SG and jumbo frets

fastonebaz

Anyone ever fitted or played an SG with jumbo frets.  Routing with the ideas of buying Another one and re fretting it.

Absolutely- have both refretted SGs with super jumbo frets and made our own - works beautifully.

One 1960s SG junior was so good afterwards it still haunts my memories @musteatbrain ;

@FelineGuitars have you a link to a standard sg shake you make with jumbo?

Open to a little haggling 

We make a thicker body than Gibson - better balance and slightly beefier tone

I had mine refretted with 6100. It needed a refret anyway and I wanted it to feel similar to my DGT.

I had it done a few years ago, at first it felt odd as I was used to the old frets for about 15 years. Now it's just not an issue.

6150's would be my choice - similar to most PRS Guitars and when I've had various Gibson GUitars re-fretted I've chosen this gauge and IMO the guitar has been better for it, regarding playability

@FelineGuitars it’s still playing and sounding great. I’m doing my best to wear them out of course.
