My 1917 Gibson A-3 is now 101 years old and still has its frets in excellent condition. I was wondering if they are bar frets? They appear to be. If so do the experts here know when Gibson may have quit using them?
Also, what is a source for bar fret stock as I fully intend to be playing this mandolin for at least another hundred years and I might need to replace a few frets before my time is up.
