Well, this makes sense to me - really big fretz!

[stubhead]

Big big tangs, at least:

They're called "Jet Fretz" and I wanna... they probably cost money, dammit.

Stand out from the crowd of players and bring them to their feet with Jet Fretz!

- but what if I suck? I've seen bands bring 'em to their feet, and out the door too.... :dontknow:

"They now come in radiuses"?

Surely they mean Radii, jeez... :sad:

Don't worry, Marko! I've got you covered again, just like the the tunacaster/80's acid wash pink denim caster!

Nothing enhances your playing like extended sustain and Jet Fretz delivers that sustain unlike never before! Stand out from the crowd of players and bring them to their feet with Jet Fretz! The dovetail base slides into a specially slotted fret board.

No more practicing!

On the positive side, it may improve neck stability and remove lifting fret ends.  Any chip outs would be also hidden by that overhang.

On the negative side, these would have to be installed via the sideways slide in method.  It would also be a relatively permanent retrofit to the fretboard.  I can imagine how much of a hassle it would be to pull those for refretting without damaging the board.

Someone on ebay has been trying to sell a Warmoth with a Jet Fretz neck now for the longest time (the neck is a reconfigured Mighty Mite). Guitar is a total Butterface ("great body, but her face"...). The neck itself really takes awaay from the guitar imo. Anyway. it can be yours for the completely reasonable price of $1945.

Also, is it normal to have a 6.7k neck pickup with a 15.7k bridge?

That guitar is hand assembled! That's why it's worth $2000. Tough work, putting a guitar together. No child can do that! Only a pro...

Hey, Connor, when are you turning 15?

What happens 10 years down the line when after extensive playing a need a refret and this company doesn't exist anymore?

Get a Warmoth replacement neck.

 

[line6man]

Does anyone else think that with frets like that you should probably have a zero fret installed to keep the open strings consistent to the fretted notes?

 

[Unwound G]

Gosh...........the guitar sounds as metallic as the frets in Jason Rivera's demonstration.  Sustain increased by 35%, +/-1 db, more balance all across the fretboard, no string hangs,  no tone.

 

[DangerousR6]

A bit overkill if you ask me... :doh:

Max, you dirty fecker!  :laughing7:

Max, you dirty fecker!  :laughing7:

There he is!

 

[jerryjg]

The logical extrapolation to that silly idea is to make the fingerbaord one giant fret with  21 small strips of wood along the length of it.

BTW- I adore this guitar! I want a guitar with a bridge TV Jones!;

FRIDAY! THIS FRIDAY! WHOO :hello2:  :cool01:

Edit: and just got to 2000 posts!

Really? Awesome. But yeah... hand assembled doesn't mean much.
