Seems like most newer stuff has 6105. Was this always the case? I thought at some point Medium Jumbos were on things like Custom Shops and Ultra-likes.

I'd be curious too. I have 6105 frets on 2 different necks (9.5 and 10" radius) and honestly I'm not so sure I'd use them again. I don't think any manner of dressing the fret ends makes them feel as clean as either vintage or MJ wire. I adapt fairly well to any kind of fret but my muscle memory was built primarily on vintage wire. I think my next favorite is MJ (6150).
Seems I became aware of them around the time the Clapton sig came out, but I have no idea if that model even sported the 6105s.
(No, it looks like the Clapper Strat sports vintage wire). 🤷♂️

I've always been a medium Jumbo fan....however, in my latest partscaster, I bought a 2021 Fender American Pro 2 neck and it came with narrow tall frets....it wasnt intentional but I wanted it because it had a Deep C neck...I had to drill a new hole for the neck at the heel because the bodies for these have the rounded contour where it joins the body..
No matter, the neck plays really good....still partially to the medium jumbo's but its still a keeper

Yeah, I adapt to the narrow talls, and like guitars with them, but there is a certain feel to medium jumbos that is perfect for me. Edited to add, like Auf Kiltre I feel at home with vintage wire like on reissues and MJ's, which is a weird difference. Maybe just what I'm used to.
