Fret size on an Axis?

[atomic punk]

Hi everyone. I am just curious as to what the size of the frets on an Axis are? I am thinking of having a neck built for another guitar and would like to get the same size of frets for it that the Axis neck has. Thanks for any info.

Wow nobody knows?

Man I e-miled EB to find out what size they were and they said they could not tell me since it is a Ernie Ball secret. They would not even say what standard fret wire size would be close. Now I love EB but that is pretty weak!

You know, if you went to a good local luthier, I bet he could help you figure it out... You could just compare examples of fret wire he has on hand until you find something close... Or take your guitar to a guitar store and say "I want something with a neck/frets similar to this" and see what they come up with. I'm not surprised EB/MM aren't saying; they're infamously tight-lipped about everything! 'Course, we'll forgive 'em 'cause they make such great guitars!!

Yeah, I'm going to have to hit some stores and compare this next week. I'm thinking they might be close to dunlop 6150 as the Axis frets are a little wider than the frets on a Wolfie and quite a bit lower and those have 6105's on em. It still would have been nice if EB could say what standard fret size they were close to though.
