This is a LP Studio from sept 2012.
On the big picture you can see that the fretboard looks too dark to be rosewood.
IRL it's almost black and you have to look very closely to see (or imagine) pores there, but on the closeups it doesn't look like richlite.
It's very unlikely that it's ebony because (AFAIK) they stopped using it from this exact year.
Any ideas?
Also, it looks like it has been refretted (?)

It is a very nice fretboard. Not every guitar has to have Brazilian Rosewood or Ebony

Baked Maple is really fine, and I regret not having a guitar in my inventory with a Baked Maple fretboard.

Some people turn up their noses on Baked Maple, not me.

What makes you think it's been refretted?
