From having the MICROTONAL GUITAR 2000 station up at mp3.com:

<http://stations.mp3s.com/stations/40/microtonal_guitar_2000.html>

I've had some folks contact me about pieces of theirs (or pieces they
knew of) that had fretless guitar.

Here's a couple just to show the way that microtones could infiltrate
the masses by sheer accident (rumor has it that Ned Evett and Ron Thal
are supposed to do a fretless CD):

When I say infiltrate the masses by accident, it's because I think
that if the fretless guitar becomes anywhere near as popular as say
the electric fretless bass, then guitarists will be more likely than
there bass playing brethren <my apologies to bassists everywhere, it's
just a hunch!> to eventually experiment with the notes they're not
supposed to know even exists; not that these two pieces are an example
of that, but we'll see...
