Dockery Farm Style Fretless

Posted by Uncle John on November 1, 2013 at 3:03pm
I've gone fretless. Most of my CBN time has been spent playing fretted guitars. I did a couple fretless Deuce (2 strings) vids and somewhere around a hundred 3 string fretted guitar vids in assorted tunings. I've always liked the look of a simple, old, relic fretless – and most of all a fretless 3. I think they are historical and classic. So for now, this is where my interest lies.This git is my first done with the sound hole over the neck. Classic old timey. This guitar has a piezo and sounds good plugged in. It is going to be a good one, but right now, the small string is slipping side to side at the nut. Annoying. Will replace the current nut with a screw and do what is needed to make this one a very good player.Aint this the greatest hobby ever?

    Thanks Bruce.  I was happy with the antiqued neck finish.   I used a few teaspoons of cooking oil and a much smaller amount of gray craft paint mixed up then applied and then after dry, too a candle to it.
