I found a stunning fretted Ken Smith BSR 4 string White Tiger from 2011. Are there specific types of wood used in the build of a fretless body/neck?

Thickness difference is about the fret height amount.

Same woods used per the model made, fretted or fretless.

This one is for sale in the UK. Does the fretboardrepair effect sound or playability? I've never seen anything like this.

The Nut is missing as well as a bad FB replacement. HUGE de-value in my book. Expensive to repair properly which with us, required re-finish. Ugly modification.
