    SBMM JP 60 fret size?

    Are the frets on the SBMM JP 60 Medium-Jumbo or (just) Jumbo?

    Most "Web Stores" have, "24 medium-jumbo frets" in their description of the JP 60. Sam Ash has "tall-profile medium jumbo frets".

    In this old thread:

    http://www.ernieball.com/forums/musi...g-guitars.html

    Pat Park states the JP 60 has 24 Jumbo frets. I'm assuming he would know best!

    The SBMM website doesn't state the fret size for the JP 60.

    So, just for clarification, medium-jumbo or jumbo for the JP 60?

    Thanks...

    jumbo, they are larger than the frets that came on the JP50.

    The JP60 frets are huge! Like little mountains of frets.

    Thanks for the confirmation Pat! I was hoping they were jumbo. I would go with a JP100 for the jumbo frets, but I prefer the plain black finish over the fancy maple.

    Why do so many web-stores have the description wrong?...

    my guess is they copy and paste info from previous models.

    Let me know if any other questions. You can also reach me directly at: patpark@praxismusical.com or by phone 714-532-6655.
