Doing some research before I commit to buying my next EBMM :)

How are the fret sizes/types on the different EBMM models?

I'm keen on buying a Luke and the website lists the frets as being 'low profile, wide'.

How do they compare to a Silo's frets? do they feel drastically different?

I know the best is to try them in person but I haven't had the time to drive to the nearest GC.

thanks!

chem 69, I think the fret spec's are confidential. On the Axis they feel somewhat like 6102's. I believe the Luke is a little shorter and a little wider in comparison.

I thought all the EBMM guitars used the same fret wire except the Petrucci, which uses thicker stuff (the same fret wire as the basses?). Of course, I'm wrong a lot.

The website lists them as being different, so definitely different fret wire on the different models...

See? Told ya I'm wrong a lot.

From the web site descriptions, the guitars seems to fall into 3 types of fret:

High Profile, Wide : JP models, Steve Morse models

Low Profile, Wide : Luke

High Profile, Medium Width: Albert Lee, Axis (and ASS), Silhouette (regular, Special, Gold Roller and Bass), 25th anniversary


I know this isn't the detail you're looking for but if you figure out the type fo fret wire for one model, you'll at least know which other models have the same.

Thanks man. I emailed customer service and hopefully they can give me more details.
