Bapu Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 He removed the fretboard from the neck of this cheap Ibanez and put on a new un fretted fretboard, and he measured out and put frets in as 19 semitone per octave. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Notes_Norton Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 It looks good. I'm afraid it would give me too many opportunities to play wrong notes. Right now if I hit a bad one, I can always bend it a half step and make it right ;) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulo Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 So it's like a regular guitar, but with more stripes on the long bit? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He says he's going to start working with it to see where it takes him. Some here may recall my reporting here that my son made his first fretless guitar about a year or so before the Zappa Brothers album Shampoohorn where Dweezil played a fretless guitar on one tune.

Funny, for me it would be the perfect guitar. I can always blame the D**n Guitar for all the wrong notes I play ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gswitz Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 Dweezil is such an amazing rock star! I never miss a chance to get out to see him. One of my favs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin Nicholls Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 19-tone equal temperament is definitely a thing. It's a way of experimenting with minor third intervals that are closer to perfect Pythagorean harmonic intervals than you get with 12-TET. Other intervals are further "out" than 12-TET but it's all good stuff. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
