hi, thought this might be of interest to David Beardsley and anyone else playing microtonal music and/or fretless guitars. I was at Guitar Center (yuk) the other day and saw a Godin 12-string classical fretless! The only time I've even heard of someone playing an instrument like this is Pat Metheny, who used a custom one on his live record from a year or two ago. It sounds pretty bizarre...I didn't get to play it, but I was imagining the fun someone could have who's had experience playing fretless. it's also got a plain finish fingerboard, unmarked except for the edge; someone with a lot of patience could construct a whole lot of mictrotonal scales and mark 'em out with chalk or a grease pencil. It's obviously begging to be used by people making unusual music...I'd love to hear someone have some looping fun with it. Here's the manufacturer's link. http://www.godinguitars.com/godinmultnylonfretlessp.htm Daryl Shawn highhorse@mhorse.com
