i like pics that are not to thick and not to thin i like the ones in the middle so my pick will not brake and so that my strings won't brake when i strum too hard

I shouldn't have wrote consensus. But rather a large majority instead. Even at the Duncan forum most players prefer larger frets for ease of bending.

Fret size and radius matter one one tot on bending with a well setup guitar.

I like my frets on the tall side.

I don't care if they are wide or narrow, as long as they are tall enough and nicely crowned.

I'm thinking I might like playing on a scallopped neck.

Interesting response richie etc... but I think you're on the wrong thread mate! Made me laugh anyway.

Good enough, they can be replaced with no too much harm.
Cheers!

The vintage frets on a small radius call for a slightly higher action, but for me that means you can almost get 'under' the string and bend it just as easily. Just takes a different approach and dare I say a little more finesse – perhaps less aggression, but no less fluidity. A higher action feels somehow more 'springy' to me... as if you've got lighter strings.... and it kind of makes my fingers feel more springy too – which I like.

Dunno if that makes sense to anyone? Or am I just rambling?

I have a Les paul with the fretless wonder frets, and an Ibanez with jumbo frets, and others in between--and I have no preference.

Although if I was making a guitar I'd probably go with medium frets to split the difference.

I really like standard C shape of the modern Strats. I also like the shape of my '07 SG, it's a little thicker. I do prefer a 12" radius over Fenders'
9 1\2". Even though both of my Strats have Jumbos on them I like the medium\jumbos better. I'm so used to my guitars that I'm comfortable with them. When I need a fret dress on the Strats I'm going to have him take a little more than usual off the top.
