Just think of how awesome a guitar player you could have been by now if you had only spent the last 10 years practicing instead of obsessing over pickups and roasted maple necks.

No, those are not LED fret markers, only LED lamps on the headstock and bridge, and UV sensitive fret stickers.

More likely something like this:

The fiber optics is old, I saw that years ago with a metal band called Pergamum. Really brought out the "tree of life" inlay on the guy's Ibanez.

But this isn't fiber optics. It's individual LEDs in each fret marker.

That's the one, I bet. Martin Sims has been doing LEDs, fibre optics and all the rest of it for at least a couple of decades. He does Steve Vai's guitars for him, amongst many others.

(Not to be confused with Patrick Sims at the American guitar refinishing company, Sims Custom Shop - the same name in a similar business is confusing but a complete coincidence. Also nice work: http://www.simscustomshop.com . )
