Huge frets
Don't let the 12% Nickel fool you, these will be the last frets that you will install on any guitar, because they will endure a LOT of levelling. I have been pleasantly surprise because they don't feel alien or weird, your fingers will adapt very quickly in a matter of minutes, and the feel is indeed that you're playing with a scalloped fretboard. I like them, but be prepare to spend a lot of time beveling them, I'd easily compare the time and effort you'll invest, to super jumbo stainless steel frets when working and filing them. Just cutting these frets will be a workout on your hands. The only downside to ME, is that I find the tang width a little to narrow for frets of this size , I had preferred a 0.6mm rather than 0.5, but this is really nit picking. But Sintoms if you are reading, please make an option with a larger tang and these frets would be my absolute favorite. And for those asking, these are everything but a gimmick, and, unless you are allergic to large and tall frets, you should give these a try.

Best fretwire for electric guitars
I think this is the tallest frets that you can find on the market. Basically, you get the effect of a scalloped neck without actually scalloping the fretboard. If you often play bends, slides and legato, you get the best possible playability with this fretwire. I wish guitar manufacturers started installing them on mass-produced models.
