I'm also going to buy new frets, but i still don't know which diameter to take now i use 0.95-85-75-65 on my 10c and 85-75-65-55 on my 7c. But i think they are not too thick for my taste.
So in fact I have two questions about it (think I already asked, but I can't remember my own name today :-P ) 1. Moving to thicker frets need any special preparation? I think I will go for 110,100,95,80 for 10c and 100, 90, 80, 70 for 7c. 2. well...after remembering it, i don't have second question...
