Hege,
The guitar in your pic has been re-fretted.
So comparisons with the original are not valid.

Thanks Dave, how does one go about knowing that? These look pretty vintage, super low and wide.
I appreciate the info!

I like the look of those frets, they look far larger than on my '70. Are they original size?
That is something I have notice about mine is that the frets are really low profile, this is the "fretless wonder", I suppose.
I'm a bit heavy handed, and my fingers touch the fingerboard sometimes, unlike my '07 LPS which has taller frets for sure. It takes such a light touch to play this one, I feel like a gorilla, <never mind the mirror> Sorry about the not great pic.

I think I see what you're saying. I will try to get a better picture up.
I think I can see where these "nibs" are removed/missing, a slight notch of sorts in the edge of the binding at the fret ends. I believe you guys are right, a fret job sometime in the past.
Unfortunately I have no LP with a bound fretboard to compare.
But also, if re-fretted, a well done job, I am getting used to the light touch required, and I do like the low look, it does seem to fit the instrument.
Thanks again, all
