If you've ever considering dipping a toe or two into the world of fretless guitar, then you could do a lot worse than snap up this Gordon Smith SG-styled fretless guitar, currently listed on eBay UK with a starting bid of a very reasonable £299 and with no bids at the time of writing (approx 13 hours to go before end of auction). It's a one-off handcrafted custom build from this acclaimed British maker from Partington, near Manchester. What's not to like?
And while we're on the subject, check out the below video by Guthrie Govan in which he answers all the questions you may have had about playing a fretless guitar but were too afraid to ask. It really is an excellent introduction to the subject.
A few posts ago we were shortly debating about our respective national guitars, so here comes one of the most noticeable French Guitars, the Vigier Marilyn(sorry for the bad picture).
Behind its obviously pointy look, associated with playing plenty of notes fast and loud, but with an elegance that you don't usually expect from hairy players, the Marilyn has a quite ergonomic design that makes it more than anecdotic.
Another guitar that I'd love to see in natural oiled finish!
