Kind of hard to tell from those pictures. Not sure how those frets would feel...

Looks OK to me. Some people prefer the unlacquered fretboard.

To each his own.

If you like the board on a 325 C, then you got the same thing with this 620 (other than width differences). I like my 325 but prefer the lacquer. The guitar looks fine though!

I would like to try it out. It probably feels more like a Les Paul with these mods.

Looks like they did good things in general, but I'd miss the "R" tailpiece.... I'll put up with slightly more work during a string change in order to preserve the original look.

What I don't understand is why he put so much effort in describing the changes but then put up such ****** pictures.
