Anyone, by chance, play fretless guitar? I have a project lined up to convert an old discard guitar I own into a fretless variety, but I don't have the materials yet.


I play fretless bass, and I have converted two of my own basses from fretted to fretless. PM me if you have any questions; it's pretty much the same procedure for a guitar as it is for a bass.

Sorry, just saw this reply.

Will do - I was looking at this guide: [Link] -- although I've read about some people performing a similar procedure, using sheet metal to cover the fretboard after the frets are removed.

Right now, I'm hoping to wait until warmer weather gets here because a friend of mine has a woodshop in his garage that he'll let me use, which should allow a lot more working space than I currently have, as well as access to all the necessary tools.
