This question has probably been answered Many times and I just haven't found it.
I have a Mid-Mo which will soon need some frets replaced. It occured to me that new frets have "tangs" if that's the word which hold them in place on the fret board. These tangs may, or may not, cause a problem when removing the frets. It would seem that they might cause the fret-board to lose chips of fret-board wood as the tangs are drawn up and out of the fret-board.
Can these "tangs" cause problems or am I just looking for things to worry about?
Also... do I need to worry about the size of the fret wire fitting the grooves in my fret board or are the grooves (and fret wire) standardized on modern mandolins.
