So after filling your gaps in with the epoxy, was there any other steps after that? Some people have recommended I sand the whole thing flat (Presumably so the filled-in gaps don't just push out and become pretty funny-shaped frets) Or would I be fine with simply filling-in and re-stringing?
Thanks for any replies, it's great to see people actually PLAYING something good on a fretless acoustic!

You definately have to sand the fingerboard down. The notes on fretless are (more or less) exactly where the fretlines are. If you had a bumpy, epoxy quasi-fret it would certainly affect intonation while being aesthetically and practically upleasing for the left hand as well. It's also recommended that you file the nut and saddle down much lower than you would have for a fretted set-up, as lower action on fretless contributes to better tone and sustain.

this is cool.and nice playing too..=) im actually going to defret my classical guitar (thats the plan) did u just defret it and filled the gap with the wood filler? or did u add an alumunium sheet into the fretboard? coz i saw it somwhere on youtube..

No I kept the rosewood fingerboard. I used 15 min epoxy for the filller. I did see the guy with the aluminum fingerboard though, it looks pretty cool. If you go through with it, let me know how it comes out. Cheers.

how is the action on that guitar? I actually might have bought that same guitar (fretted still) tonight for $50! Did you do any work on the bridge to go fretless?
AxeTrader 3 years ago
The action is fairly low, as low as I could get it. I lowered the bridge some and filed the nut way down. It's pretty good for fretless classical but it doesn't have the same sustain and 'mwah' that my SG fretless does but it still plays really well.
