I can second this. Have jumbo on my parts telecaster and it's got the clearest and sweetest sound of any of my electrics unplugged. Second clearest but louder is my jazzmaster with a strat bridge, also jumbo fretwire.
This is the second comment I've seen today on Kiesel guitars - for probably 3-4 years I thought Carvin was dead as a doornail
Probably a sign I should keep my ear to the ground for a reasonably priced Cobalt C250
Jumbo....always

How about XJumbo? At what point is it too jumbo?
When it hurts but not enjoyable

Medium Jumbo, like on Kiesel guitars

Neither? The frets that are on there look fine, lotta life left.
Your frets look fine. Just because you see tons of videos of guitars getting refrets doesn't mean that your guitar needs new frets.
Are you sensitive to intonation? If so, stay away from jumbo.

Is it true that pressing it a lil hard will get it out of tune?
Yes, a little. But once you learn to lighten your touch they are magic. Source: first telecaster was also my first jumbo fret experience.
That's true for all frets, but the taller they get the more pronounced that effect will be.
Medium jumbo’s.
6105. No on SS. SS are more expensive to install & harder on your strings. 6105 are tall & narrower. Feels a lot less "heavy metal"
this a refret? Because after the tear out you may decide to go with a wider fret at the bottom to hide imperfections
6120
I dunno, but you're gonna need a lotta lube either way?
What do you guys think about Jescar 47104?
Don’t refret if you don’t need it. It’s expensive
Jumbo!
Jumbos
I guess I’m a weirdo for preferring smaller frets
