[@AcousticLabs]

I'm still saving, but absolutely determined to own one of these before I die.

Ive watched your videos since you first started making these things and i still am always amazed every time. these things are so amazing!!

[@Thallishman]

I was actually waiting for information about this topic! great to see a video about it.

[@777fiddlekrazy]

they sound great. i'd love to pick up on one of these!

[@TogaManGuitarViols]

Having played these for many years, I have found those frets rather vestigial and most of those notes generally have better alternatives in other position regions. On the other hand, it gives a fretless option to notes that wont otherwise slide well as they do on the higher strings. "Vanishing fret" pattern was developed in the pre stealth period when bending mushroom shaped fret wire around tight bends held up many builds. The fingerboards are coming out the best they ever have!

[@PlayFairButDirty]

Awesome! But can you use tapping techniques with that instrument?

[@ADevastusMusic]

Is there any way of having stealth frets retro fitted onto another instrument with a sharp radius?

[@kurochan8127]

Would you build an 7 string model?

[@777fiddlekrazy]

REally CoOL!!! I am Diggin' it! :-)

[@ricardbennett6487]

[@1835msd]

I so want one, never going to be able to afford it. :(

[@TogaManGuitarViols]

Which other instrument? Anything is possible but does require engineering time and expense.
