Fretboard Sizes
I know there are Jumbo and Medium but is there anything below medium but isn't like little kids size. I don't have the biggest hands so the smaller the fretboard the better...simple question I'd say.

i think he means jumbo or regular frets... like my ibanez has jumbo frets where as my guitarist's gibson has standard......
smaller than standard fretts eh?.... i played a rickenbacker that was kinda like that... but past like the 15th or 16th fret is was kinda hard to move me clumsy fingers around and still be accurate....

i don't know, my Jackson has a thinner fretboard, and less space between frets than my other cheap piece of shit
if you need less space between frets though, a 24 fret guitar often has less space

he might meen the neck like if you pick up a six string vs a seven the seven is wider although i thought all necks were the same width, well like all 6-strings are the same and all sevens are the same ect

i was curious if the frets themself were larger on a jumbo than on a regular. Like from 1-3 would be 3inches on a jumbo and 2.5inches on a regular.

All fretboards have the same amount of space between frets. It may seems like thiers less or more space depending on fret size. But if their was less or more space than the intonation would be fucked.
