The guitar featured frets that measured 0.110″ wide by 0.055″ when new, similar to Dunlop 6100 fretwire. String height was measured to be 5/64″ on the high E string and 7/64″ on the low E string. Each string had three full winds for the best angle at the bone nut.

What’s the difference between compound radius and staggered pickup Poles?
