    For some reason this Fretless Friday’s song takes me back to a simpler time when massive chocolate chip cookies floated around and people ate flowers. Oh. You got the lucky chicken poop. Why don’t you leave the strings as they are and get a nylon neck? Another great Fretless Friday. That fretless does produce a very unique tone. You may find ways of implementing that sound similar to how a lap steel guitar complements a standard guitar. It looks as if you may be entering into a Sergeant Peppers Lonely Hearts Club phase. Thank you for all of the smiles. Have a great weekend.

    А поставить струны из нелона или нейлгата - это очень рисковая затея! Но очень интересная! )
    Можно попробовать подобрать подходящие струны от лютни или арфы. Типа sugar harp, например.
    Мой учитель вообще поставил на свою лютню первую струну синего цвета.))) Для экспериментов со звуком. Кстати, да, струны могут быть и разноцветными. ))
