Members Mayanus Posted January 15, 2007 Members Share Posted January 15, 2007 After seeing some inspiring videos, I think I want to open up my horizons and try some fretless guitar playing. I was wondering which companies currently offer fretless guitars. Obviously the less I pay the better, so if there are any lower priced options I would like to hear them. I live in the UK so if anyone knows of any custom builders in the UK that would do it, I'm all ears. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Roy Posted January 15, 2007 Members Share Posted January 15, 2007 Too bad Search is down. I ran a similar thread a while ago.What I am doing is converting a fretted Squier Strat. After examining all the options, instead of pulling the frets, I'm going to file/sand them down until they're level with the fretboard. If I screw it up badly, I plan to steam the fretboard off and replace with some nice pallisander. This is going to cost nothing (already got the strat) or about $25 for new wood if I screw up. A replacement neck from warmouth is $160 and you can order it fretless. Carvin also has some fretless kits. I just lost a bid on a used neck on ebay. It had a lot of fancy inlay work and went for $80. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
