OP also has a fretless for sale that looks pretty similar. Can someone point out differences apart from the obvious (frets, finish)?

EarlSchreyer

Hi, I fell in love with the first one, and then ordered the fretless custom, 32 years ago. The main difference is that the fretless has a maple top and the almost black (translucent black) finish. And of course the fret lines and the LEDs. Someone made an offer on reverb for the fretless and I accepted. As I mentioned, due to my arthritis I can't play the wide fret boards any more. Looking to get a thin Series I short scale.
