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?

ok......that sounds easy enough......

 

[blackspy]

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!

 

[DaveB]

Hey Tommy,

I'd scallop the neck for him before you apply the wood filler

[old_metal_head]

Pull out those dot thingys too.

 

[francric]

If I send you my gitar, can you remove those metal things for me too?????? I don't want them.

 

[mbgreene]

I'm just glad you got rid of that big awkward part on the end - you know the part with the funny paint job and electrical thingies. This way its nice and light

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.

i saw him too...
he sat in w/ satch in new york on a deep purple tour when satch was opening .
short guy ......looked like he came on a skateboard........
played his ass off......
strange sound. suprisingly clear though. sounded like he was playing w/ a whammy bar only (sort of)......

Ned Evett was the guy I saw.

I have enough trouble playing WITH frets.

[blackspy]

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..

You do what keith suggests and the price of your y2d goes up $500, and I'll never send Keith the receipt for his LUKE








Glad that's a rosewood and not maple fretboard!
