A few months back I got my life time mandolin, a 1979 Nugget. The first half dozen frets needed to be replaced and so I asked for help on the Cafe finding a luthier close by. Vernon Hughes in Timberville, VA turned out to be the one. Just got the mandolin back yesterday from Vernon and he did a great job. Action was right on, fretwork clean and detailed well, and the mandolin plays so much more responsively. Vernon is a great guy to do the job, I would highly recommend him. By the way he makes some fine mandolins as well and is just a good guy to know. NFI
