Great stuff ecca. Wish I had'nt watched it. I want one of these fretless guitars now . Was that a cam on the headstock or a tuner?
Brilliant sound out of it, it must be murder to play chords on it and keep them in tune

Beautiful.

Thanks all.
Chords are all but impossible on the fretless.
It's an Aria Pro professionally fitted with an ebony fingerboard and it's a tuner clipped on the head.
I bought it for £150 from a chap in London, my son-in-law works at Canary Wharf so he picked it up for me.
It's like a 12 string really inasmuch ( I love that word ) it can only be used now and again.
I have another fretless that I had a stainless steel fingerboard fitted to and I also have an old neck similarly fitted that will fit a strat if anyone wants to buy it.
The cigarettes at the time were Consulate.
In the 1974 budget the chancellor put them up to 40 pence a packet so I packed it in.
Glad you like it.

Yes I'd imagine you'd be somewhat limited to what you could use it for, but a lot of fun to be had I'm sure.

One of the bands I was in, the bass player used a fretless and I always when watching him play, wondered what the guitar version would be like to play.
Another guitar I always fancied was one of these Gibson solid electric classical instruments. I once saw Lee Ritenour play one on the telly and thought the jazz sound he got out of it fantastic. I've never seen one for years. Bit too costly for my pocket methinks

By the way Fags were twenty six and a half pence when I saw sense. My incentive I gave myself at the time was to purchase a Yamaha acoustic guitar on tick, so what I spent on fags went on payments instead. Pretty good deal I think
The guitar aint here now, but I am And no coughing up my guts every morning before brekkie

Inasmuch, ( he loves that word ), as waiting for the download presented the opportunity to watch the Godfather trilogy again, I truly enjoyed this.

As I've come to expect, the musical composition is as imaginative and original as ever. The talent behind the playing is, in my humble opinion, without
equal. And, of course, the presentation is nothing short of first class.

I loved the old film clips. Especially the USA bits.

Yes, all in all a wonderful soundfile / video.

Such occasions almost tempt me to get the Strat out of it's case and have a bash.

That "Studio" by the way, contains equipment that would make certain retailers in Denmark Street green with envy.

Love and kisses, Alan.
