the easiest answer is to Google your Guitars specifications if you want to be super technical the best place to check is possibly stewmac or a guitar building forum.

here's the dimensions to help you out , these are all in inches based off of what Dunlop has to offer who make the best frets arguably

  • 6230: The smallest fret wire found on older Fender necks (.078″ x .043″).
  • 6150: Vintage jumbo. Much wider but not as tall as 6230 (.102″ x .042″).
  • 6105: Modern narrow and tall; currently very popular (.090″ x .055″).
  • 6100: Jumbo. The largest fret wire available (.110″ x .055″).
  • 6130: Medium jumbo (.106″ x .036″).

personally I like 6100 or whatever extra jumbo frets ESP makes are, they offer a better bend and longer life for frets , remember to go stainless steel it'll last 20 years

How many frets on guitar?

That depends on the type of guitar you have. I work with Guitars everyday so I see guitars with 12 frets, 14 frets, 17 frets, 21 frets, 23 frets and occasionally I find 24 fret guitars (with the double octave of the open string) the most frets I have seen was a 29 fret electric guitar. The guitar was custom built though. Most commonly, you will find acoustics with probably 14 to 17 frets and electric guitars with 17 to 21 frets.

How many notes can the electric guitar play?

This depends on the number of frets on the guitar. Because of the way the strings are tuned, if a guitar is in standard tuning it has 26 + the number of frets possible notes, so a 22 fret guitar would have 48 possible notes and a 24 fret guitar would have 50.
