I have had in my hands a Mast guitar 'around 1780, with frets of bone,
but I can't be certain that they were original, even it seemed to be
so.

Hello,
I have a baroque guitar dated 1760 with gut frets, and a romantic one
(early romantic) dated 1795-1800 with bone-ebony frets. So I guess
when
going from 5 course to 6 strings the change was made also for frets
of
the century (around 1800) but stay with gut frets... (now converted
back to 5 course baroque guitar)
