the best thing about fretless is that you can ge a guitar at a pawn shop, take the frets ou, and you don't even HAVE to fill the slots in, just sand it down good, and you don't really have to have lessons either, I learned totally by myself, and i'm always surprising myself with what I can come up with, so just experiment, and you never know what you'll come up with.

do you have to use flatwound strings so you don't chew up the fingerboard?
wbwillie (August 26, 2008 at 10:44 pm)
well, some people like flatwound, but I can't afford them, so I just use regular round-wound strings, but I don't have any trouble with it chewing up the fretboard. With bass it's more of a problem

I'm in the process of making my Ibanez S series a fretless right now, It's coming along great.
I'm so eager to play it!
