Squire refret

Chris, one more thought...of course, when getting a micro tuning, it's simple...which tuning will you get the most mileage out of, both for playing and composing? I've been working with 19 for over 20 years, and 34 for almost as long, just scratching the surface...still haven't used the 31, 36 or 22 JI much yet, so there's a lot of music to be found. And...since I like chordally based music, the JI axe, although a lovely system, may not give me as much variety since it's not really gonna be great for complex chordal stuff. Of course, if I had more $$$ to burn, which I don't, I'd get all kinds of systems, just to mess with them. But, it also takes a while to get something going in a new tuning (for me, anyway)...you really gotta dig in, and see what can be done with it. It does take time and study, and I don't wanna put out music on a CD unless it meeets my standards. Anyway, good for you, best from Colorado...Hstick

Neil,

I have no experience with fretless guitars - does one need a great
deal of pressure to get a good sustain?

I am thinking of using my ebow with my squire as a fretless guitar. Do
you or anyone else have experience with since a combination?

I have been giving some thought to this idea as well. What keeps
knocking in my head is the fact that Charles Ives has some quarter
tone piano pieces that not only sound different but sound good. He was
able to incorporate the extra resources in a touchy tuning. Hard to
do.

Why not pull the frets out and see? It's a zero risk operation if
you're planning to refret the thing anyway.

What I really want to ask is: is there really a fake brand called
Squire or a general inability to spell Squier?

It is nice to talk shop - and since I have unexpected company the
answer may give me something to look forward to.

On my part it is inability. Sometimes my writing and more embarrassing
my speech, seems dyslectic. Like for instance I was calling the Hadron
super-collider facility Hard-ron. So actually I thank you for the
correction. I simply don't realize it is wrong until I run into a
circumstance that corrects me.

Thanks,

Chris
