My Stiver has fingerboard binding that follows the contour of the fret ends, i.e. not "fret over binding". Here's a picture (from a Gibson guitar, not a mandolin):
If I get the mandolin refretted, will they somehow cut the frets just right to fit between the existing "bumps" on the binding? Can they even do that? Or will they just flatten the binding and run the frets to the edge as I (perhaps erroneously) consider normal. What if I only get the first few frets replaced?
Thanks,
Dan
