I just got my hands on a Kentucky KM-1500. Doing a little research I see where some folks like to have the teeny tiny frets replaced with larger ones. I even read where one of the builders of the master models in Japan suggested that someone have them replaced with "proper sized" frets. Any suggestions on what size to use? I'm still getting a feel this 1500 and don't necessarily have a problem with it just wondering what I might be missing. My Gibson Jam Master does have larger frets (and a wider nut).
Upon further inspection I was pleasantly surprised to find binding nibs on the fret ends (a feature I have come to appreciate from many years playing a Les Paul) . I would think one might be hard pressed to find someone to perform a refret while retaining the nibs on a mandolin.
