Do you have a favoured fret size and why ?
The last few months I have been using guitars with vintage style frets, but the other day I got out a guitar that has medium-jumbo frets.
It was slightly uncomfortable for while.
Do all of your guitars have the same fret size ?

I have about every profile. They’re all fine by me. I’m more about neck profiles.

I think my favorite is vintage wire followed by medium jumbos. 6105 fretwire is a bit too speed bumpy for me.

About the only thing I’m picky about on a neck is the profile. I don’t like baseball bat necks. None of the rest (nut, fret wire size, etc…) concerns me much.

I like 6100 jumbo. It makes bends and vibrato easier.

It's just a guitar, it's not rocket science.

My two Music Man guitars have 0.095" x 0.045" (which I assume is Jescar 47095) I can't image myself ever changing drastically from that size. Certainly, I don't think I'd ever choose much below 0.40" in height or go above 0.050".

It's odd, but despite my preference of vintage frets/chunkier vee shape profile I have one Allparts Tele neck that has .118 x .055 wire and I really like it. I believe that falls in 6100 territory. 12" radius rosewood board, 1 & 5/8 nut width, and a .84 to .94 C shape profile which is slightly smaller than Warmoth's 59 Roundback. I did add an Earvana nut to that neck, not sure if that factors in.

I don't even think about it. If it sounds and plays well that's all that matters.
