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.
Sample of my not so impressive
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.

A question for the woodworkers out there. I’m looking
for a wood finish that will be as durable and as smooth
as possible (glossy, even glassy would be good). The
target wood is rosewood. Any suggestions?
Durablity is the more important aspect of the two
if there are tradeoffs involved.
More good shows. Glissade at Zombie Room at Kings tonight.
Finks/AutoPassion/Golden Dawn at Local 506 sunday night
for a “Winston Salem Invasion” show (no cover even).
Some interesting shows coming up.
Friday night is Fantomas.
Saturday night is Junior Brown downtown for the tsunami benifit
(Cracker too, but bleah…).
Pocket Ref Ref
So, I mentioned the Pocket Ref Monday, and
last night they mentioned it on an episode of Mythbusters. Interesting.

How many of what?
For whatever reason, I tend to end up having lots of conversations about units. I guess I just have weird friends.
A Dictionary of Units of Measurement
Lots of weird and obscure information about lots of weird and obscure units.
