Oh, sorry I didn't think about what was typing. I meant that the fretboard is lacquered. Rickenbacker applies the finish directly over the fingerboard.

Upside: It's 30 years old and the fingerboard looks like it's almost never been played, the lacquer has sealed it and kept it in good shape.

Downside: It would have to be stripped before the refretting process could even begin, and then i'd have to wrestle with having it re-applied which would drive up the cost even more, or leaving it bare.
