Not sure if this is the right place or not, but here goes.....what's the difference in size and shape between medium jumbo frets and Banko 6105's?

Thanks for any help.

I had a Strat refretted with steel 6100, now I'm saving my cash to get all my other guitars done the same way.

I had my 85 MIJ neck refretted about 2 years ago with 6100's.
it's like playing a scalloped neck, i love it.. takes a bit getting use to,
but you can really get under the strings now for bending.
Got to watch the pressure on the chords now....lol

That "getting under the strings" is what I love about them, it's so easy to push the other strings aside as you bend up. I initially had the frets dressed and there was just not enough metal there to accomodate bends, especially at the first few frets. It's an expensive job but it makes the neck feel so much better.
