Hello, I am new here, so. Hello everyone! :D

O.K. now that that is out of the way, let me explain my predicament.

I used to be really good player, but that was 2-3 years ago, so I have forgot everything... :cry: I now am getting back into it, (like I can't walk past my guitar and not play it, even if it is only for a minuet or two) so I ended up getting a cheapy Starcaster at Target for like 100 bucks, and it just isn't very good, I also have a nice Rickenbacker, but it just isn't like a fender now that I have tried one, so I need to know, which Strata has the lowest frets, since that is what I am use to on my Rickenbacker? It has very low frets, and well, I like that feel. :)

Thank you guys for any help.
Hamturret

(P.S I am also know as Warheadforever on other forms.)

By "low frets" you must be referring to "vintage frets" I think?

The '62 AV Strat might be what you're looking for?

The '62 Vintage Reissue does have small frets but the '57 feels smaller because the neck is so much smaller.

Basically, anything listed in the specs as vintage frets will be small.

I have a 60's MIM strat with vintage frets and they are really low so you might like that :)

I think the Jimmie Vaughan Strat has low, vintage style frets too. If you look in the products section of this site it lists what size the frets of any Fender Strat is in the specs.

No the Jimmy Vaughan has Med Jumbo frets.

The Clpaton has very low frets.

The MIM Classic 50's has vintage frets as well. Nice guitar. I almost bought one but went for the Classic Player 50's instead (medium jumbo frets).
