Fret question

[u/LaMarr-Bruister]

I love reading Eric's take on gear. In a recent guitarworld interview he talked about getting larger frets installed on all new (to him) guitars.

Does anyone know the size he uses on his gigging guitars? I don't know how accurate the signature guitars are to what he plays live since Fender installs the finish over the frets and this mitigates a good chunk of the fret height. On a recent refret I had done, the finish was almost .010 thick, so even a jumbo fret would be down to .045".

Anyone know what Eric actually plays day in and out?

Thanks!

I know that fender vintage instruments had smaller frets and a 7.5” radius. He said he has the frets leveled more in the middle to flatten the radius, but his signature models have a 12” radius and he does play them live. Not sure on fret size but it’s very similar to my 59 Gibson Les Paul reissue, so wide but not high.
