When my dad (a legendary bassist) was teaching me fretless, I wanted to practice slides. But he kept telling me that fewer glissando makes them "special". I would practice them over and over after school before he came home. Then would practice intonation accuracy and exercise for an anti-buzz tightness that my little hands lacked. I always wanted more slides and the band director at school would say "no" and being in a cover band with my older brother is was also no. When I left home the JB fretless stayed with dad. I built one from a Silvertone in '77. It was years later that I realized he was right, effects, chords, solos, slides are ALL best in moderation. You reminded me of this with your solo on this video. Make the glis like the diamond among thousands of other rocks. The rest of the time play straight. I know YT is for athletic exhibitions of speed and goatness, but you probably have a smart enough audience to recognize/appreciate quality. My dad died in 2000, before 911. He wouldn't even recognize our world. But if he were here, he would certainly tell you: Make it sing with your soul, leave the gymnastics for the other guys.

I totally agree… I mean if you want to do a little vibrato or some thing. It’s already going to have a distinctive tone without doing those glissandos all the time. I think they get a little tiring to listen to. Less is more.

Every single one sounded beautiful, almost etherial, just incredible guitars. He was an awesome musician too. (All 52 guitars are now safely displayed & used by his family members and six God children) RIP Davey.

35 years ago everybody said I'm a freak because I built myself a baritone fretless from an old Kramer alu shortscale bass-neck (ex duke-bass) and diy body. Result is quite satisfying because of the alu-neck. The more tight the neck the more you get sustain and a bright sound, and thats important for the plain strings which are a bit muted by the fingertip. Nice to see that the good ideas will not die...

I've been looking at fretless guitars for a while now, and though I can't afford any new gear I want one SO bad. And seeing this baritone makes me want one even more -- it's like making a guitar sing, a style of playing I want to experiment with and learn (being mainly a vocalist, this seems very fun). I hope I can afford something similar someday soon, even if it's just a de-fretted, cheaper instrument, haha. Nice video! Love this!

This is indeed an instrument that is evolved from the 16th century. Beautiful! Also a member of the vile family which had seven tide frets and the rest of the neck was fretless. They were very delicate due to the lack of technology back then. I once took a six-string fretless bass and added lighter strings to it and use some very different tunings, some of my own and some from centuries ago. But the coolest thing was being able to run it through my rig and just getting some really cool sounds. Thank you for posting your amazing video.

A great benefit of any fretless instrument is it becomes easier to correct for the tuning issues in 12-tone equal temperament. There are also tuning issues with the standard fretted guitar (which can be solved with warped frets, called "true temperament" guitars) that this can help overcome too. Of course, it takes a lot of skill.

As a fretless guitar player there are a few things I wanted to add: Playing fretless guitar is not harder that fretted guitar but it takes more attention, there is a difference. If you already bend notes on guitar you already have the intonation in your ear, also if you play slide. When starting out on fretless find the harmonic nodes and play them stopped. Right aways you have lots of note that are more in tune. Use open strings and harmonics as reference tones. Altering how you play fretless is the major asset to the instrument. A more linear approach along one string creates a very lyrical quality. Re-voice chords to the essential (1 - 3 - 7 for most common chords) 3 notes are usually enough to give the harmonic intent. Barre chords and barring two strings are tricky to get both notes on pitch (add vibrato when barring). Practice vibrato along the string as with cello. There are some great vibrato videos for cello that apply well for fretless guitar. Like a fretless bass the note blooms so playing longer notes is beneficial. If you are playing electric fretless guitar and eBow helps with finding the notes because of the sustain. We can do our micro adjustments as the note continues. Try playing finger style to get a richer sound, especially on a regularly tunes guitar. Picks can sound a bit thin. With fretless guitar the notes have less overtones and the fundamental is more prominent which gives the characteristic sound.

It was originally called "electric rod" and later developed based on the famous electric guitars, adopting a different body shape and other improvements added to its more famous cousin. Up to this day, it's quite common in one or two music genres and it looks hella cute.

The blues with fuzz sounded amazing. I am struggling quite a bit to play chords on my fretless bass but otherwise haven't had much trouble getting the feel for it. I hope to see more of this guitar on your channel .

The pick up functionality and the piezo is really cool. The body style is great because their will be no neck dive with the strap button so far up the neck. Form and function blended together to make a great instrument.

Absolutely amazingly beautiful guitar. ❤ I gotta say it is weird to me that you haven’t seen or hear this before. I been playing fretless bass for decades and it is on of the most beautiful sounding instruments of all time. Every guitarist should grab one.

From the very first moment I saw the thumbnail, my first reaction was "is he playing a Cello"? It takes skill to hit the right point on the strings, but I notice they include more inlays on the fretboard to help with referencing where the frets would typically be. And. That guitar looks BEAUTIFUL.

That is a beautiful guitar for sure. A friend made me a guitar once ... a carved flamed maple top Les Paul type with a double cutaway and a Les Paul style headstock. It had a 25" scale through neck made with wenge, with a strip of maple through the middle, and an ebony fingerboard and headstock veneer. The two sides of the body were mahogany. It was his first carved top and he did a good job and the guitar sounded great ... a brighter sound for two humbuckers, but it was pretty darned heavy!

As a jazz fretless bassist and recent classical guitar student I'm now going to try to find a fretless baritone or start drawings on trying to build one. Thanks for the video. Unlike yourself, I see some incredible uses of this instrument as a substitute to some intricate bass pieces and filling in a gap since most high stringed bass are tuned lower to get more range, the higher range here intrigues me.

That tone is amazing. Also baritone guitars are just beautiful sounding in general. But that fretless sound makes it so much more tasty.

What a DREAM of a guitar, I have been wanting to yank the frets out of a Bass VI, but now it is a matter of when, not if.

That's awesome. I've wanted a Browns Guitar Factory Fretted/Less Guitar for over a decade since I got to play one at NAMM in the late 2000's. It's fretted for the first 9 frets, but then the upper half of the fingerboard is frettless. They also have a fretted/less bass.

Beautiful guitar and sound! About two years ago I had a fretless classical guitar made which I have really fallen in love with. Even better is the baritone fretless classical that Cenk Erdogan uses, you might really dig that.
