Flaxwood Fretless Guitar - better quality

- same clip, better quality -

This is Jussi Reijonen playing a fretless guitar by Flaxwood featuring a Fernandes Sustainer pickup and Seymour Duncan lipstick and humbucker played over an Elmwood Stinger 30.
Recorded at Frankfurt Musikmesse 2008.

It was awefully loud, but note the magic moment when the guitar starts to sing...

It's cool, but give me a week with one of those guitars and I'll play circles around that dude.

Video evidence when you're ready, please :)

This video is not about showing off guitar skill, though, but to give a rough impression of the Flaxwood fretless prototype guitar.

@jawadahmad77 damn right. is could also be a phrygian dominant depending on the core note which we dont know :) but i would have tought of phrygian since he plays the first step a half tone.

sounds terrorist

Wow the intro sounds a lot like "Khmer" by Nils Petter Molvaer. Really nice sound here, I could listen all day to this playing, especially in this style.

@youneedmorecowbell "Shave kid" ? It's a myth that it grows back thicker if you shave it. It gets "thicker" because a man's facial hair matures as he ages over many years, well beyond being a "kid" - that is, most men get hairier as they get older, something I'm sure you're aware of ;)

By the way, I have a "real beard" but I'm just a kid, too, if our host above is the measure of such things.

Great sounding guitar, but I'm curious as to how much is due to that "sustainer" pickup.

@pkudlo If you don't really mean this and it is just your sense of humour, well...it needs improvement.....If you mean it, then where is your video? :)

@contact1araya

no. sustainer pickup. works the same but its not hand held, its mounted on the guitar body so you can play normally.

nice sound to. ive always wondered what would happen to mix a sustainer with a fretless. how mush is that thing going to be retailing at?
