Does anyone happen to know what the original frets would have been like on a 1965 Electric XII?
I had the owner of a local guitar shop look at it recently, and he was pretty sure it had been refretted at some point. He thought it was probably sometime in the late 1970s judging by the wide and low style of fret.
I don’t have any issues the way it is - it actually plays nicely. I was just wondering what people’s thoughts were - I’ve not seen another one for years to compare.
Here’s a picture:
