"The fretboard is really worn..." is he mistaking the speed frets for worn frets?

Johnny's guitar is/was there on loan from Daniel Ray, who bought it from Johnny when he retired. Daniel produced/cowrote songs and added guitar parts on a few Ramones records. In an "interview" Johnny claimed the neck was never repaired. This guitar has been refretted at least once and, the fretboard is extremely worn, it looks scalloped, especially in the downstroke zone. I saw it up close at the museum a few years back, the frets are larger than Mosrite frets. I felt as though I saw the holy grail when I saw it up close :lol:
