Sounds lovely though. I'd enjoy giving one a whirl, just to try it out once

interesting, but if he missed one of the special frets no one would really know...except for him :hihi: ...also it seems that these concepts are better for bass (at least for me). Classical guitars have that wider neck, that helps but the guitar scale seems to small, to populated as it is and adding the extra frets make it more prone to fret buzz.

A bass has a lot more room (hink eyes his baritone..hmmm...) but then, why not just get a fretless

I don't see the world breaking down doors angling for that thing Hans uses either.

the thing I wanted was going to look pretty much like that
we had to learn to work to crazy tolerances and I enjoyed that (+/-.005" was common/typical but +/-.0005" was not uncommon, I can imagine making such a neck would be fun but also educational...the math would be interesting but also tolerances with wood is quite limiting. There is a lot of math to machining, of course a lot of trig...but so much more...if I had a lathe, bridgeport, a grinder and perhaps a cylindrical grinder (extremely accurate) I could make a set of machine heads for a guitar from scratch...most of my senior year was just how to calculate gears, set up the machine and cut them...but then that was 74-78, I'm sure with computers its much easier now :hihi:
pfft machine shop...
give me a box of lego :D

:lol: and you get the extra note too ARGGGGGGGHHHHHHH (stepping on one)

surprisingly, never happened :shrug:
even with the cats, my lego have never been knocked off shelves or anything, and im almost ocd when building.
im so bad, even with roughly 1000 minifigures in this room alone, can always see when and which ones, people have moved to "sexual positions" if i leave the room :x

classical guitar? there's no room for that shit.

I'm actually not interested in systems of fixed/discrete 'microtonal' single pitches, for me it would be fretless, it's about expression. Pitch bend lane too.
there are fretless guitars, Zappa played one on some thing around '76.

or scalloped, no? I have an Ibanez neck I started scalloping years ago (one or two frets :hihi: ) it's in a big marked bodies and necks...the movers did a double take :lol:

i saw one a couple of years back with movable frets, looked like the biggest pain in the arse to actually move them though.

often think of turning my shitty marlin in to a fretless. but im too lazy to actually do the job.

scalloped can get you really wide bends, kind of sitar-like
I can't play guitar today, it's all pitch wheel and tools in key editor, or MPE glide

I could have this for my Warmoth Strat for 350usd 330 if I went with 1/2 scalloped...quick and easy swap out (my Warmoth is a hardtail)
