Anyone gotten someone to mod a classical guitar for
them? A friend tried to make one fretless, but there
were sustain problems, however it would be interesting
to have a classical guitar tuned to slendro.

Trying googling Dante Rosati. He refretted his own guitar to a 21-tone
JI scale and makes some fantastic-sounding tunes with it. Evidently he
just glued bits of wire to the fretboard, which makes adding split
frets much easier than actually cutting slots. Sometime in the near
future, I intend to de-fret a classical guitar and then install movable
frets made of fishing line, a la a lute or viola de gambas. I'll keep
yothe list updated on how that turns out.
