Re: fretless looping guitars

["Paolo Valladolid" <phv40@hotmail.com>]

Ned Evett, the fretless guitarist behind fretlessguitar.com (which also 
includes other endorsees such as Reeves Gabrels, Dweezil Zappa, new 
addition 
Adrian Belew, etc.), favors glass fingerboards because of their tone.  
Kind 
of like using glass slides vs steel slides for slide guitar playing.

I too am fine, btw, with the rosewood fingerboard of my Fernandes.  It 
does 
have some dead spots, though.  I guess having a fingerboard made of a 
harder 
substance such as glass or steel (as found on Vigier's fretless guitar or 
my 
friend Francesco's quarter-fretless Grand Stick) would go a long way 
towards 
eliminating the dead spots.
