Hi, good stuff John. Here is a fretless guitar story.

I recently had a guy complaining about his guitars intonation being out, so I set it in the usual way and it was perfect. But he said it was still not right. When I discussed it with him I found he was now concerned about the intonation at the nut end of the guitar. I explained that it is a far more involved job but he said to go ahead, so I did.

He then said it still was not perfect so I explained that due to the frets being in a fixed location perfect intonation on his guitar was nigh a dream... unless he went fretless. I have not heard back yet.

Excellent point John. There's a difference between a fretless guitar and a slide guitar but a lot of folks lump the two together.
