Hi I've got a 62 reissue jazz,american made, bought new about thirteen years ago.my question is;does anyone know what size fretwire fender used on them.i want to refret a precision with the same size frets,but there are so many different frets out there I don't know which to get.i believe pre cbs fenders had the equivalent of dunlop 6230 frets,which are about 2mm wide and 1.1 mm high.here in the UK fender are selling vintage frets which are about 2.1 mm and 1mm.i don't have any accurate measuring tools and I do have failing eyesight!I imagine measuring the height would be inaccurate anyway due to levelling. Any help would be much appreciated Thanks

The neck doesn't look twisted,but could a low nut slot cause buzz on fretted notes?if so I'll check.what would be an ideal clearance for the D string at the first fret?

I've got a vintera precision,about six months old.my problem is the d string buzzes on the lower frets.to stop it I have to add really high relief,but the frets choke out on the highest frets.its also digustingly crap to play.if I set relief to .30mm at the eighth fret and action at 5/64ths on E at the 17th fret,it plays beautifully everywhere except for the D at the low frets.ive since levelled the frets and it's still doing it.ive tried three different sets of strings,la bella ,ghs precision and fender flats.im at a loss.any ideas?
