I've been looking to buy a fretless acoustic for quite some time now, and I'm having a very hard time tracking one down. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions.
Thanks,
Josh

Also, I know that Warwick makes an acoustic fretless Invalid Link Removed I'd like to try it, but I have never actually seen one in person!
There's many out there, what is your budget like.
For the cheaper side Dean makes one, sounds pretty good, pickup is not the best but it's a good price at around $200. I have one for those times when I want to fool with it. I put some tapewounds on it and it sounds pretty nice.
I also played a Breedlove at a local music store and if I played out on acoustic more that or something in that range would be what I'd be looking for.
There is a thread, acoustic bass fetish, that would get you plenty of answers for all budget types. Check it out.

Michael Kelly makes one, or did anyway. I used to own a Michael Kelly(fretted) and loved the tone and playability! Wasn't too practical though so I traded it in.
