Fret size for a baritone neck?

What fret size would work best for a baritone neck from Warmoth. I'm guessing something a little bigger than the vintage-style on my Tele's, but don't know how much bigger.

Thanks.



I'm guessing either 6150 or 6105.
  • 6100 .112" X .055" Huge! This is big stuff for the almost scalloped feel.
  • 6105 .096" X .047" Narrow and tall. A very popular choice.
  • 6130 .106" X .036" Often referred to as "Medium Jumbo". This is the size found on many Gibson necks.
  • 6230 .080" X .043" This is the smallest fret wire. Used in older Fender necks.
  • 6150 .103" X .046" A true "Jumbo". It is about the same width as the 6130 but a bit taller.

I've done a few Warmoth Boat Necks , using the 6150....and suited me pretty well....plus it gives you a little extra height, if leveling is needed...and doesn't really feel that large....the 6100 is just ridiculous to me.....YMMV

I'd go with either 6105 or 6150's. Both good sizes.
