I started pulling frets from my Epi Dot last night to do a refret, and noticed something weird. All the frets were undercut. The tang stops about a quarter inch from the edge of the board . . . like the way they would be installed if there was binding. So all the fret slots are just sitting like holes in the middle of the board. Is there some secret benefit/reason that they would have been doing this? If not I'm planning to saw the fret slots to the edge of the board and install the new frets for simplicity sake.
Also, what do people use for sawing fret slots on the cheap? I was going to just use a chunk of hacksaw blade screwed to a bit of wood.
