Just getting it's own thread, since there may be more people curious.

What size fret wire is that - it looks like train tracks

 

[Randy]

Yeah, those look friggin' massive.

I played an RGA7 today, and they didn't seem that big but I might not have been looking closely enough.

 

[Adaman]

They do look huge, not that I have a problem with that I love massive fret wire. The work looks nice too, no crappy fret edges or anything!

 

[Matt]

Thank-you very much for posting those Chris!!!! :wub:

 

[Blankplank]

That fretwire is HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE!

 

[Soopahmahn]

I think Ibanez use jumbo, ala Dunlop 6100?

Those frets look so much better than certain others I've seen lately... a couple of nasties on the ends that could be cleaned up quickly. Not bad.

 

[technomancer]

That looks much better than I would have expected. Looks like a decent piece of rosewood too as opposed to the super-light stuff I've seen a lot of recently.

It's no doubt a very nice guitar, especially considering that it's a "low end" 8.

I don't know what the holy hell they were thinking with these pickups and the stupid ass EQ switch, but that's a topic for another thread. :lol:

Don't understand the "WOA MAN MASSIVE FRETWIRE!" posts :lol:
It just looks like normal jumbo-ish sized fretwire to me, nothing out of the ordinary and I'm pretty sure Ibanez use a wire slightly smaller than 6100.
Every Ibanez guitar with "jumbo" frets I've played has had fretwire slightly smaller than 6100.

Fretwire might look big because they're macro pics.

I'll snab a couple more today next to some other fiddles.

Slightly narrower and/or shorter? What about ESP and Schecter who claim "XJ" extra-jumbo frets, any idea what they're using?

I like Ibanez frets :agreed:

And +1 to the rosewood, it looks nice - Chris can you get a full fretboard shot with some flash to show any pattern in the wood?

Has your bass player threatened to hurt you yet? :lol:

Here's some more, flash on, with the 2027 for reference.

2027 is the FB (obviously) with no dots.

 

[Soopahmahn]

Looks nice :yesway:

 

[Toshiro]

The 6100's on my Musikraft neck are about the same size as the frets on my Xiphos.... Decent fretwork it looks like.

I suppose I didn't have to mention the 2027 fretboard being the one with no dots, since it's the one with only seven strings, eh? :lol:

Don't overestimate us. You never know.

They seem to be pretty much the same width, but slightly shorter in height, which is what I don't like.
I would rather have slightly taller frets and slightly narrower, but eh I guess nothing I can do unless I get my guitars refretted.

 

[contrapuntaljazz]

how's the neck in comparison to the prestige? do you think you could take some pictures from the side? thanks though!

From what Chris mentioned, the guitar has since been sold, so you might have to ask someone else.
