I'm about to purchase a crowning file and trying to determine the size file to get. They look like medium frets, but asking to be sure.

Also, anyone know the board radius ?

Here is a free way to find the radius. http://www.pickguardian.com/pickguardia ... Gauges.pdf

If you have a micrometer you can measure the fret and compare it to info at Dunlap or StewMac.

Yea, I actually have that from another site. Just have it buried somewhere.

Pretty sure they are medium frets. I have an old Fender Bronco here with vintage frets and a Strat with med/jumbo to compare. The x270's look to be medium.
