I recently secured a this A-4 in "excellent" condition from Carter Vintage. And it really is in amazingly pristine condition. Save for one thing. The original frets are quite small. It's still perfectly playable and the action quite low. But compared to my Martin Style 20, which has new banjo wire installed, there is a marked difference.
My question is, should I go to banjo wire with the Gibbly, considering its excellent original condition? Will the modification have a negative or positive impact on value? I'd like some input, especially from dedicated A model lovers.
