| | Registered User | | Join Date: May 2009 Location: Devon Uk | | | 3 full scale 4-string fretted, too dumb to play fretless, and easily confused by large amounts of strings (used to be a guitar player, found it too tedious). |

I have another 4 string, fretless jazz on the way, which I've affectionately named, the Jazz Bee. I sure hope it's done soon. |

4 String Garz Single Cut
5 String Garz (the first 5'ver Fretted I've owned in over 6 years)
More than likely a 5 string Garz Fretless in the near future.  |

I have nothing at all against more strings, I'm just most comfortable w/4. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
