Is the accompanying from a song? If it is, can you tell me what's the name of the song?

[licklibrary]

we don't believe it is, but if you drop Mike a question in his forum on the LickLibrary site, I'm sure he could tell you for sure :)

[licklibrary]

You can actually make one believe it of not, I have a friend who took a cheap electric and just pulled the frets out and put some filler in the slots, it's a LOT cheaper than £1000s for a vigier - though those metallic fretboards are great!

[Seb Silver]

It would be rad to be able to play quarter-tone scales and stuff .. where can I find a guitar like this? all i can find on ebay are fretless bass guitars.

[FuerzaDeNoche Tryf]

why dont you just defret your guitar? (assuming from what you said that you have one)

[Nazar Prosto]

if there was any neckless guitar, Guthrie still could take sound from the air

[guitargamery]

you need to work on that sound before uploading a video, because it is way way to confused all guitar frequencies sound are clashing against each other like the beginning of the universe-lol anyways besides that, i was pretty jealous because i thought i was the only guy in the planet with a fretless guitar, well at least mine is made with pau-ferro wood , congratz guys and thumbs up

[Martin Maat]

So, we now all know it's a good thing to have frets on a guitar. Thanks for making that clear guys.

[licklibrary]

We've seen a few people do this and it's a great way to experiment with the fretless concept and see if it's for you. We can't recommend the Vigier enough though as we've found that the wooden board kills the sustain and tone more.

I made my own fretless guitar by removing the frets from the second cheapest guitar I could find (the cheapest needed new electronics), filling the slots with epoxy, then sanding and lacquering the fingerboard. Total cost, including tools to do it, was about $120. If you google how to make a fretless guitar you will find lots of useful resources.
