fretless guitar

I got bored today. So I bought a cheap guitar and made it fretless. Which mainly consists of yanking out the existing the frets. A little wood filler, some sanding, and some setup work, and it seems to work.

fretless playing

Filling in the fret slots with wood filler. And yes, my work table does always look that messy.


A side shot trying to show lack of frets.

As good of a use for an old Peavey “Receptor” as anything. It could use a bit more setup work. Setting the truss rod and action on a fretless is a little odd. But I’ll figure it out.
