UTILIZATION

This guitar is very light and ergonomic design is perfect!
I'm not a fan of the types stratum or strata, but the super race is not noticeable at all and when you do not notice is that there really 0 defects.
No frills no gimmicks just a complete and easy guitar.
The sound is really saturated with overtones, nothing to do with an Ibanez fretless SC Yannick Robert (very good incidentally). I have three guitars fretless is still the easiest to play is the most versatile!

SOUNDS

I really think what is very versatile, I do not see any style that can discard it (this will be your fingers that will not agree). The pickups offer up anything really fun in different styles. This is the guitar Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal.
I really fond of the paf pro in neck that transcribes the sound of the fretless (contrary to what can be said in the test beds). Intermediate positions are interesting, that I like least is the Tone Zone. I love the bass on a scratch (I also have 7, 8 and 9 strings!), But the tone zone does not give a full sound, which I think are too separated in the spectrum of sound (even on fretted guitar) but it remains my opinion.
I had already mounted a paf pro in another bridge on fretless and this small and saturation in glissendos MAGNIFICENT ...
On a whole it is beautiful lamps, an octave or a harmonizer, a whammy and especially a good delay, and off you go in the electric violin and oriental instruments.
A foray into jazz solos and furious and it even faster remain detached.

OVERALL OPINION

I am not my first fretless, but I think it's one of the only ones at play and feel, makes this a delicious and bursting with harmonics above it in all styles! And the more one feels no dead zone (one or more locations or notes remains bland, low-sustain: it is inherent in wood and fretless touch it even with an epoxy varnish cooked or uncooked) on the neck.
It is an investment and an instrument that could be difficult to master ... but if the effort does not put you off I think it's a CHOICE!
