I think you fill in all those lines with wood putty and then sand the fretboard nice and smooth. What were those metal-strippy-things doing in the fetboard anyway?

Oooh, scary!


Got me thinking though, is there such a beast as a fretless guitar? I've never heard of one, bass sure, but not standard guitar. I guess you need the frets.

Vigier used to make one, and Mr Vai has a triple neck with a fretless Jem on it. These beasts to exist!

I once saw a guy open for Joe Satch (not G3) who played a fretless guitar. But the thing that made it even more unusual was that the fingerboard was made of glass. You heard right.........GLASS. I can't remember the guys name, but he obviously had a very unique style. Played solo, no band, no accompaniment.

There is a song on "Shampoohorn" where Dweezil Zappa plays a fretless guitar. I can't remember the name of the tune, but it's pretty cool sounding.

short guy ......looked like he came on a skateboard........

strange sound. suprisingly clear though. sounded like he was playing w/ a whammy bar only (sort of)......

When you send it back don't forget the complimentary burrito (extra sour cream) and large Pepsi.

I love the EB stick!!!!

Wow, I had no idea there was that much info available on fretless guitar and various players. I figured since I hadn't heard of it, it must not exist ;)

Now, I will recite 100 times..
