Those frets were pretty flat/paper thin, weren't they?

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

The Vigier fretless guitars are wonderful instruments. Super high quality along the lines of EB, Suhr and Anderson. I absolutely suck at fretless, but here's a pic of when I played rhythm for Ron Thal and we both played fretless for a couple of tunes. I did simple, simple things so as not to sound like a sick cat. Ron is the absolute master of fretless, I think because of his perfect pitch. What's really amazing is to request a really difficult song which was written on a fretted guitar and watch him play it on fretless. There is virtually no limit to what he can play it seems.

nice JPM 90th Ann. in the back of that vigier picture.

ill +1 vigiers too...there not my favorite kind of guitar obviously ( ), but they make one hell of a guitar. i mean, if shawn lane played them...

EDIT: whoops, that aint a JPM. the graphics looked like the picasso ones at first glance, and the flamed top...what ibanez is that, actually?

Almost, but that dark pic is deceiving. It's a J-Custom RG-ART1. Very much like the JPM90 in that it has multiple trans-stains on the maple top.

Yeow! That sounds like a lot of work, Tommy!

Is it worth doing at that point? I'm just curious.. I've never had any guitar repair done other than a setup.

Well, I know that it's worth it to me It's my first "real" electric guitar (I had an Aria Pro for a few months before I realized I needed to upgrade) and has been gigged to hell & back, between outdoor concerts, bars, new years parties, house parties, and even a few appearances in the county jail (volunteer work). Plus it played pretty sweet even with paper thin flat frets.
