Hi peter 'n' all
I've never had a fret less guitar, but I've had a couple of fret less bass.
With the bass you listen far more to the pitch, always put me in mind of Star Wars - feel the force - rather than look at the neck look away from it and play after a while you find you're hitting the notes you're aiming at, of course whether they are the right notes is a different matter entirely.
You get some lovely rounded sounds, and great slides but of course that's bass, I've always thought the thinner strings on a guitar would be dampened on a fret less.
The most famous brand, I believe, is Vigier
No doubt someone can enlighten us
