hi guys I'm new to the forum my names rob, this is my first post here.
I got some pyramid fret wire from a friend who owns a guitar shop he did a custom repair for a neck thru charvel the owners girlfriend threw his guitar out of their 4 story apartment window during a fight, and it snapped the neck when it landed on a parking block. but the owner wanted pyramid frets. my friend was not going to use the fret wire left over so he gave it to me, I put it on my tokai tele copy which was in bad need of refreting. I love em. they do help with the intonation seeing I put a 3 saddle bridge on it, it took some getting used to when sliding down to do a lead I used to slide down with my fingers slightly pressing down on the finger board muting with my right hand to rid any ambient noise, I had to learn to slide down with my hand being stabilized by pressing against the back of the neck while sliding down. they are awesome for bends, and tapping, it puts me in the mind of a shallow scallop. the frets don't hurt but I could see how they would be annoying if you use the same technique I used to when doing a lead. bottom line great for metal or any music where your doing many solos, not so good if your a rhythm guitarist. most of that guys site is hype but pyramid frets do have their advantages for certain styles especially if you play metal and tap a lot but don't like the looks of a scalloped fret board.
thanx for your time and I look forward to communicating with you gentlemen in the future.
