Hmm. That's not good. What's the downside to replacing frets 1-7 and dressing only those new frets, not the old ones unless they're going flat? It seems the higher/taller frets 1-7 would keep the string height above the older non-replaced frets, meaning no buzz (as a positive). What's the negative?
