I understand the aesthetics of using the ears to guide note placement on fretless guitars and basses, but it would be ridiculous to expect me to replace an entire fingerboard on a low-cost guitar just to get rid of some lines.

 

Now on a custom instrument where I actually would have the _choice_ on whether to have fretlines or not... well that is another matter... :)
