If you have a start, use these
I bought these frets in order to regret an old (not especially vintage) start that I have. The original frets on it were really badly worn and abused but also very narrow anyway. I didn't like them and they used to hurt my fingers when I did slides.
After installing them, spending lots of time filing them and then sanding and finally polishing them, I now have a much more useable guitar that has totally been transformed into a guitar that is a pleasure to play.
These frets are medium jumbo frets and after they have been installed and shaped, give you some nice smooth playing and not more hurting fingers from slides on sharper vintage style frets.
I believe the radius of these frets is prevent to 9.5" and I just had to bend them a fraction more to get them to fit comfortably on my 7.25" radius stratocaster.
I was surprised how cheap these Fender frets were, but then you realise that all the skill and quality of the re-fret is in the labour, skill and expertise. I certainly don't have all those skills in abundance, but if you have the patience and some basic wood work / metal work skills, you can install these frets and come away with an excellent result. You can breathe new life into that old used and abused favourite guitar.

Can't go wrong
I used those on a cheap cort electric and on a mexican fender strat.
The nice thing is that they are pre-bent at a 9.5 radius. No need for an expensive fret bender tool.
The size is a nice medium between tiny vintage and huge jumbo wires.
It all comes down to the craftmanship of the person who does the refret in the end but those frets have always consistent quality and good price.

Good frets
Once installed, these are very playable, not giving any issue with slides or other techniques. They have some spare centimetres, so they easily fit on every kind of guitar neck. The quality is eccellent.

solid frets
I bought these frets to install them on a new tele maple neck my friend made for me. He did a nice job fretting and crowning and everything else. The neck plays nicely.

My new favourites
I used to prefer medium/medium ones, but with these ones you get more mileage in the long run. It’s been two years since I installed my first set of Fenders and the wear and tear is minimal. I mostly do recordings and I use 9s, just for reference.
