Question: This is a simple question. Do guitars play easier with jumbo frets or medium frets?

Answer

There's plenty of discussion in forums across the internet regarding jumbo vs regular frets, but what it all seems to boil down to is preference.

There is general agreement, however, that jumbo frets are a cheaper alternative to scalloped frets, which some guitarists like the feel of, especially with bends or wide vibratos. Again - personal preference!

You should try both jumbo and medium fretted guitars and go with what feels best for you.
