Furch fret size

[fregly]

I am not crazy about the frets on my Furch. I find them too small making my fingers grind on the fretboard, and they play a little slow or something -- not sure what the technical issue is. I emailed them to get the measurements as a reference when I have them changed out, to compare sizes etc. They haven't replied. Anyone know the specs of what Furch uses, and are all the guitars fitted with same? I believe I'll have stainless installed.

I believe they are rather standard, which means small, I changed for Evo Gold jumbo, the tallest ones available. Though I definitely don't have a hard grip, for any mysterious reason, my fingerjoint pain went away with those. Some claim that stainless steel affect the sound, that's the reason why I choose Evo Gold, I'm very happy with those.

Johan, how much taller are the Evo Golds to the originals would you estimate? I suppose Evo would have a matching small size to the Furch frets on their chart. I must say I really dislike the frets the Furch have as standard.

I don't know but they are something like 1,40 mm tall, not the widest, but the tallest available

FYI - EVO makes several different frets in different heights and sizes.

Just eyeballing with a tape measure looks like the height is a smidge under 1mm, which means I would want the Jumbos as well.

The higher, the better for me
