I'm having trouble finding a fretless guitar or at least a fretless neck. I can't seem to find any on ebay. I am wanting to experiment with more than the standard 12 notes on a guitar, and it seems hard to find. Anyone have any info?

You could get a regular neck and pull all the frets and replace them with another kind of wood and sand flat . . .

Great idea, didn't even think of that (duh!!)

One nice thing about those, no fret buzz. If you'd like to hear some killer fretless playing check out Ed Degenaro. Fusion madness.

I picked up an old beat guitar for a few buck on craigslist and tore off the frets. It takes some needle nose plyers, some patience and about 40 minutes.  

Check out the link below to hear a something that I recorded on a hundred dollar guitar that I removed the frets:

Godin makes a fretless nylon string.

Vigier makes a great fretless with a metal fretboard. Its like having one giant fret, in terms of tone and sustain.
