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

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 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.
