Everyone Said We Were Crazy For Trying This... (Putting Zero Frets On Boutique Custom Guitars!)

Zero frets! Have we been wrong this whole time? Recently we got to take a trip up to Chicago to hang out at Fretboard Summit, and while we were there we got to ask some of our esteemed colleagues in the industry what their thoughts were on zero frets. #luthier #guitar #acousticguitar Special thanks and shout out to the folks who took time out of their busy day to be a part of this project: Tom Sands: @TomSandsGuitars https://www.youtube.com/c/TomSandsGuitars https://www.tomsandsguitars.com/ John and Jeremy Chapman: @AcousticShoppe https://www.youtube.com/@UCgToABlTkcQP-ojGXd1g1SA https://theacousticshoppe.com/?srsltid=AfmBOop1_NX0oHdpObzuYbU5G6i3FeGo_UcexZzXXgCKByoH1jzhE_J0 Andy Powers and Bob Taylor: @taylorguitars https://www.youtube.com/@taylorguitars https://www.taylorguitars.com/?srsltid=AfmBOorOvjmdQd261GAUVN4q1arpX0koaQM34P7X4nJbHMQu3QTWDAuk Josh Rieck: https://www.jrieck.com/ https://www.instagram.com/j.rieck_lutherie/ Raymond Kraut: https://www.krautguitars.com/ https://www.instagram.com/raymondkraut/ Rhett Shull: @RhettShull https://www.instagram.com/rhettshull/?hl=en https://www.rhettshull.com/?srsltid=AfmBOopRh5OhaRr_CxzKjYCOB_4J4uT-qdxcFf99hNKczcqG5tDntXKf Looking for some stainless steel fret wire of your own?
