well...ok...so its not a bass....but still.... i had in my basement a old "fender" twelve-string acoustic that belonged to my grandfather at one point. but through years of sitting in my basement, the body had cracked quite badly and my dad wanted to junk it. but i saved it from the garbage, and got a wacky idea, i thought, basses do it, electric guitars do it, why don't i defret it. so i did, the body is still in repair, but here are some shots of the neck. i like it....

looks cool, I wonder how it will sound... I've had a buddy of mine interested in me building him a fretless guitar, but he's a tad short on extra cash so I doubt it will ever happen.
