38 FRETS?

Most electric guitars have between around 21-24 frets (however, some guitars have been made with 27 frets). Well, Kevin from 'Said Too Much Productions' has made a 38-fret printed 3D guitar. He has already made an 'Alto' guitar.  The concept was  to see if he could get the high C8 note at the high end of the piano. To achieve this Kevin had to remove the neck & middle pickups & applying a removable PLA plastic fretboard.  Does the fretboard work? It does, however need you to use either a thumbnail or pick to fret the highest notes. What does it sound like? Hmmmm! The high notes sound ok I suppose Until next time Law OFFICIAL WEBSITE LW MUSIC SERVICES (Mixing & Mastering) TWITTER FACEBOOK (Law) FACEBOOK (LW Music Services) FACEBOOK (The Solar Project) YOUTUBE

However, there are some similarities with other synths. Here are some of the CRAVES features: PATCHBAY  is similar looking to the one found on the MOOG MOTHER-32 LADDER FILTERis like the one BEHRINGER put in MODEL D synth SEQUENCER  ARPEGGIATOR  LFO MIDI It looks quite a portable desktop synth.
