Fretless Guitar
Created | Updated May 20, 2005
Traditional guitars, as most other picked stringed instruments, create tones of different heights using the fingers to adjust the length at which the strings vibrate. Contrary to a traditional guitar, the fretless guitar does not have the vertical metal bars on the finger board that constitute the length of the string. Instead, at a fretless guitar the actual string length runs from the chair (bridge), where the strings are attached to the top of the guitar's body, and all the way up to your finger tip where this presses the string down on the fingerboard. Most of today's fretless guitars are modification of factory made traditionally "fretted" guitars. However, there are also professional builders specialising in fretless guitars.
