Can someone explain the different typs of frets that Fender offers on Strats please?

I have tried the ones that come on the MIA Standards (what type are these?)

I've also tried the vintage style and also the medium Jumbo on the SRV model. I really love the Medium Jumbos!

What Strat models come with the Med Jumbos?

I'm looking to buy a MIM so I'm wondering which models I should be looking at that come with the Med Jumbos.

MIA standards are medium jumbos - i took a liking to the vintage frets on the clapton model. got to get me one of those soft v necks for my #2 mia standard. good luck. look on this sight under the ax you want and click on specs. it will give you all the info you need

Newer MIM standard (2006+) and MIA Strats come with MJ frets.

If you are thinking about buying a Stratocaster go to the products section of the Fender website, find the model you're interested in and pull up the specifications. The specs will tell you the kind of frets.

That would be for current models. If you're buying used and can identify the guitar somebody at the forum might be able to help you.

Thanks
I have checked out the specs section. I'm trying to decide on the model that I want. That's why I have all the questions. I'm trying to narrow it down a bit.

I was just hoping someone with a better knowledge of the Fender catalog could assist me in narrowing down my options. That was I wouldn't have to pull up every single Strat that Fender offers to try to find which one is best.

If the Standard models have the medium jumbo frets then what does the SRV signature model have on it? It didn't feel like the standards when I checked it out.

The SRV strat has 6105 Thin Jumbo frets, and a wide oval shaped neck. It is a very unique neck altogether, which would explain why it felt different.
