  • im glad u all liked it.. so im trying to build a new one and when i get it i ll upload new and better videos.. :)

  • Dayum!!!!

    I want to make a fretless but Warmoth don't do it and I'm not sure how to do it for myself. Any ideas?

  • well i tried most of the best places.. but usually they didnt have it or it was way pricy.. so i had a damaged guitar and transformed it to a fretless.. so best bet is get an average guitar ( preferably humbuckered ones) and take the frets of gently, fiil the gaps with wood putty and sand it with thinnest sanding paper.. or order a fretless neck from ebay..hope that ll help for you..

  • Lol, humbuckers are for distortion? The best jazz guitars in the world use humbuckers. The clean sounds are fat and mellow on a lot of them. Sure, the rock world totally loves em as well-but it would be a very misinformed thing to say that humbuckers are exclusively for distortion.

  • Lovely! Yeah, I instantly thought "Fuck! This sounds Turkish!" Good work!

  • love those microtones, so so beautiful great work

  • so the fingerboard is rosewood or ebony??

  • @Zebonka - Warmoth will make a fretless neck. I had them make a fretless baritone replacement neck for my Tele (no fret lines), and the cost was about $170 (in 2009). Had my repair guy swap them out, and it plays great. I have some videos of it on my channel "12Guitarz".

  • @supersnipah08 you can try adjusting the neck and the bridge together, but u should use at least .10 gauge strings. first set the bridge to the lowest you can then try adjusting the neck slowly like a quarter spin everyday for 2 or 3 days when u get the enough curve of the neck you ll be set. i hope this helps if not we ll work something else out. and god bless you too :)

  • Very Good Intonation!

  • Love your style and I love that guitar. I'm seriously considering getting a fretless.
