In addition to Ned Evett, here in Boise, we have
another local and very well accomplished fretless player - Ben Burdick. Great
jazz player and looper to boot! Here is his fretless Christmas CD:
Video of him playing Autumn Leaves on fretless: http://www.benburdick.com/videos.html (using
a fretless godin, I believe...he has all his guitars de-fretted by a Luthier her
in Boise...I have one of them here at my place, a traditional nylon string
acoustic).
His new CD I hear is quite good...with some Django
like gypsy jazz on it.

The guitar is an Ovation Adamas style (made by someone else)
acoustic-electric fretless 6-string that I won off eBay in December of last
year.
Best to all on LD...

PS anybody on the list in Santa Fe area. I'm going out there on
vacation next week. Had hoped to find a place to play and seems a bust
thusfar. At this point sure but if anyone is local and knows of a
reasonable open mic or church coffeehouse or something I could drop in at
thanks...

Hi,
I'd
like to thank everyone on the list that helped me with advice
on
reshaping my Telecaster into a fretless guitar aimed at
looping. I
took away the frets, filled the slots with "plastic padding
chemical
wood", planed the fingerboard, trimmed the nut (much lower
setting
for fretless) and put on 013-056 stainless flat wound jazz
strings.
I'm delighted with this new instrument! Recorded the first test
run,
guitar lined directly into laptop:

I imagine this guitar will be awesome to play with the
Sustaniac
system I have incoming :-)
