by Mo Kaiwen 莫楷文

I took a cheap 3/4-scale classical guitar, removed the frets, and replaced with with zip ties to create an acoustic guitar in the Bohlen-Pierce scale.

Veiled.
Unveiled.
That new guitar smell.
Valencia.
Ready for the operation.
I heard they make good cheap guitars.
Unstrung.
Up the neck.
Three frets down...
Muah.
Duh duh..... ..... duh duh.....
Duh duh.. duh duh.. duh duh.. duh duh..
Duh duh, duh duh, duh duh, bweeeeeeee!!
Me: 13. Frets: 0.
Two more...
Last one.
The carnage.
Fret carnage art.
Fret carnage close-up.
Fretless! And rough around the edges.
Defretted. Fretless. Sans frets.
Defretted neck.
Phase one complete.
Blobby stuff.
Epoxy upon your house!
Epoxy mess.
Hope this looks better after I sand it...
Epoxy may have been a bad idea.
Epoxy may have been a pointless step.
Epoxy may have been needing to have been avoided at all costs.
Next time we'll use less epoxy.
With "frets" in place.

Oh, and then I added the frets back in Bohlen-Pierce configuration.
