Avalon fret size

[chris c]

I noticed that the frets on my Jacques Stotzem Signature model are taller than on most guitars. I really like this feature. Which fret size is used on this guitar ? Is it the same on all Avalon guitars ?

Hi Chris

We like using a larger or taller fret wire and it's nearly always Jim Dunlop 6155 on all models

Thanks, JB.

Hey John,
Yes, it's a guitar where everything feels right. A real player's guitar, a workhorse, but one of a noble breed ! I play it all the time. Also very nice amplified. No feedback. My other guitar is a Santa Cruz, also a great guitar (very different though), but why did they put such small frets on it ? I now realize it really slows the playing down.
My son plays guitar too. He's only just beginning, playing power chords on his Squire . However he seems to develop an interest in acoustic guitar, even listens to my old Neil Young LPs ! I think he's almost ready for some fingerpicking...
