Re: R9's have jumbo frets? How jumbo?

Similarly, I've played some 59 Gibsons that are supposed to have the original Jumbo wire (but never a Burst!). The frets are a tiny bit lower than the current historics, but seem to be about the same width.

My guess is that they're something like 0.090" wide, and 0.040" tall, maybe a little less. 58s had smaller frets, but if you look through BOTB it gets a bit random!
