My Mark V in Pictures

[101Volts]

How tall are speed frets, anyway? Ten thousandths? Twenty thousandths?

A pretty solid guess would be.....YES!

I spanned the frets with a straightedge and got out my feeler gauge. Most of the frets measured .020" to .022" tall.

Thanks, Handbrake! I had been wondering for a while just how high speed frets are supposed to be, Now I'll be able to make "Speed frets" of my own once I get the right tools.

I love the Mark V's ... they are understated -> which makes them beautiful IMHO

I like how they look too. I can't say a Mark V will be my first Mo' but I did want one at first... Ricky played lots of 'em...

(P.S. How do they compare to Mark Is as far as the neck pickup goes?)

My Celebrity has speed frets and they measure .020" +/- .002" all the way down the neck. I'm actually surprised they are that consistent.

on mine even the zero frets are that low, yet I have no fret buzz, Mosrites are truely amazing
