FRETLESS LUTE-GUITAR

HI Friends

I just finished quickly building this cute little FRETLESS LUTE- GUITAR for a friend and very talented French fretless guitarist, who 'doesn't want to be an oud player', but wants something a bit "oud-ish".

He had a limited budget so I designed this baby to be buildable in rather quickly.

I just love this little guy and it will be hard to send it off to France so I'm playing him as much as possible before sending him off...

I would be happy to make more of these if anyone might be interested... it is affordable.

sounds good. how much would it cost roughly? do you use normal classical guitar strings?

Thanks.
Most basic model - base price is just 500euro. no tax. Cost 40euro to ship inside europe including insurance.

Sounds very nice Edward. I'd also like to know what you have on for strings in the vid...nylon or steel?

Hi Adam... totally normal nylon classical guitar strings.
