When a guitar is exposed to low humidity, often the fingerboard will move (shrink) and the frets become proud of the neck (since they are metal and do not contract with humidity).  Unbound fingerboards like this can become especially uncomfortable on the left hand so the frets were ground back flush with the neck and polished out.  I'm a big fan of the dynamic range of these G&L "Magnetic Field Design" pickups.  The "Belair Green" finish looks pretty sharp too.

Copper foil was added to the body cavities and pick guard.  These “Magnetic Field Design” pickups are incredible.  Their design integrates a copper plate into the base of each pickup, similar to a telecaster bridge pickup.  The Jake Blade trem is also a cool feature.  This sparkle finish is called “Spanish Copper”.
