As a former fed-ex employee, I can tell you that that was absolutely chucked across each warehouse it entered
Make sure the walls are flush
As another former fedex employee, I can confirm
As a former guitar center employee, it was probably packaged by someone making $9/hr who, despite learning the CORRECT way to package stuff from the website's "training modules", got yelled at for taking too long by attempting to do it *right*, was forced to half-ass the job, and then got yelled at for doing _that_.
I mean just. Hypothetically
@@imlxh7126 alexa, play “this is America”
☹️ that sucks. Any advice? Package like hell and make it heavy to avoid being tossed around.
Receives guitar with broken neck.
"First things first, we need to lower these pickups."
😁
@BlueJayRobin I'm half the axe I used to be
@BlueJayRobin it's half the guitar it used to be
I find it’s easier to work on a guitar with the pickups lower
surely first thing is to fix the crack? Then sort out the pickups?
as someone who was forced to learn violin,
_now you know the pain_
Me who forced myself to play the Oud *same same*
I play cello lol. I feel your pain.
@@stevenpochatko945 cello is lit
I've played the erhu, at least you get a neck for the strings to rest on.
Violin actually isn't too bad
The flow between notes just sounds so clean. Fretless really is a beast unto itself, but it sounds wicked cool.
I was noticing that, and it's probably the only real reason to play anything fretless (aside from impressing people that can't play it.)
What a pain in the ass, but notes & transitions really are silky smooth! No buzz/snarl/"fret clank" at all.
"Its like a sad guitar."
You mean your guitar is....
Gently weeping?
Lol
Hi-yooo!
Haha⚠️
You mean djently weeping?
Ghiaccio?
I can’t believe the frets fell off during shipping. They seriously need to be more careful with packages smh...

And it also depends on the guitar quality
Absolutely unwarranted to break it like that.... it sounded awesome
Agreed. I don't think he liked how the lack of frets was making him reflect on his already-developed skill set as a guitar player. But how should I know?? I'm mainly a singer.
I LOVED the sound!! Really smooth, a different flow and mood... just hated that it was destroyed at the end.......
Seeing a guitar with a cracked neck like that has completely traumatised me.
Yeah, now I’m super worried about the guitar I have coming in. It’s taken 4 months to show up, don’t need it to be cracked too
Just reminds me of the Stewmac shipping system testing done by Trogly
It confirmed my greatest fears as well.
i had to fix a 12 string acoustic with a cracked neck once
@@vxyrrrr Oh boy, I feel for you.
"I'll be playing a fretless guitar without fret markers."
Violin/Viola/Cello/Double bass players: "First time?"
I think that point has been made another 25 thousand times.
A lot of pro player put signs behind the neck
But are there versions of those instruments that are commonly used with frets? No, the answer is no. So for an instrument that is commonly used WITH frets to go to a version without frets or fret markers, is extremely odd and defeats the purpose of the instrument.
@@irx_9gaming436 Well...actually, there is the viol family, a similar family of instruments with some differences, one of them being having frets
@@aloysiusdevadanderabercrombie8 but are they COMMON?
I had to learn bass on an electric fretless. Got thrown into band duty the following week after receiving it. It was a tough learning curve, and nobody else would touch it with a bargepole. Over time, I fell in love with the sound and the things you could play that would have been impossible on a fretted bass. It really improves finger accuracy. Another BIG plus is the microtone capability...
It has a really cool sound to it!
Sad to see an instrument getting destroyed
Imagine asking the tabs for this

I've seen guitarists who can play fretless guitars & guitarists who can play violin. It's all just muscle memory that can be learned with enough time 🤷♂️

@@boolosboi7503 why bring up homosexuality?
Mr. Fahrenheit doesn’t make it ok
The sound of a fretless guitar is so unique and I love it, seeing it break was rough.
Something really cool about fretless is that it opens up other bodies of theory to play with. Quarter tone eastern stuff, for example, could be pretty fun to learn on that.
As someone who doesn't know anything about guitars, hearing "a fretless guitar that doesn't have fret markers", seems completely reasonable.
I thought so too!
@Johnny Pippet violin players exist yk, just a matter of practice
@@agent2face512 As a violin player, there's definitely a big difference. When playing a violin, your hand stays in the same spot on the strings most of the time, and when you do move it, it's not very far - basically the length of three to six fingertips. A guitar neck is over 25 inches long, and requires you to move your hand around it constantly. Getting lost without a visual indicator would be extremely easy, and you have to be very precise to avoid making a note sound slightly off. That's what the fret markers are for - showing you at a glance precisely where to put your hands when you need to make a long-distance jump. Also, almost everyone who learns violin starts with markers too ;)
*laughs in double bass

Fretless bass player 🙋♀️
Or fretless bass
As someone who used to work in retail shipping, that was a shit packing job. When we shipped guitars, we used at least four layers of bubble wrap plus loose fill or air cushions to stabilize it.
I was kind of surprised that it still didn’t have fret buzz somehow
He must have used a gate
Its not a fender. 🎸😨
I think I heard a little fret buzz at the beginning but maybe I’m wrong... maybe it’s just a little neck buzz
It has no fret buzz because it has no fret lines. But so far I heard some slightly neck buzz in the start.

I like your videos a lot. Funny but also great stuff to take away ! As someone from a middle class upbringing, and having fantasised owning a guitar for over a decade (before I could finally afford one), I hate to see any guitar die that way. Just breaks my heart :((
Just wondering, are you American? I see Americans online saying "middle class" to basically mean anything from "poor" to "not a billionaire" sometimes, which is kinda strange to me, so I was just wondering if you are. It seems like a lot of Americans feel that there is some sort of shame attached to saying that they come from a working class background, and so just say middle class instead or something, I don't really understand it
btw I agree with you, I thought it was pointless and disrespectful to destroy the guitar like that too
@@Muzikman127i think there is a middle class anywhere in the west, (europe, north Amerika, Oceanië)
Outside of that i dont know
@@dylan2478 indeed there is. I'm not sure you understood my comment. Thanks for trying to help though :)
Our bass player had a fret less Peavy and I always loved how clean it sounded. No string buzz whatsoever, but still sounded great when slapping or plucking. Of course his had markers on the side of the neck so it was easier to navigate.
Its fretless
"There's no fret markers!"
"The action is so high!"
Just play it as a slide guitar at this point
Nonexistenttt The action is high, to avoid feet buzz.

He said action was low
"There aren't even any fret markers on the top of the guitar neck"

Awesome!! You need to do this again but with a guitar you really love and are willing to pop off its frets!!
It is definitely possible to play without markers with the same kind of intonation violinists and cellists have

@@nathanweiss5174 hello fellow Nate!
thinking back to before my first guitar, I woulda killed to have anything. I don't feel you gave it a fair shot or see why you'd destroy your only fretless guitar either way, the neck coulda been fixed, but the body was totally fine.
yea fr tho. i feel like when musicians get a lot of money, they completely waste it and dont do much good stuff for the world.
You didn't need to break it. That was the most brutal part.

Bruhhh for real
It does sorta *_feel_* like that a bit. At least if you do a low dose and you’re by yourself just pondering different things.
Not having a middle pricing, is what it's like being a left handed player
God right though?
Someone should make a guitar with a uniform symmetrical body that can be played comfortably both right and left handed, call it an Ambitar, or anything to do with ambidextrousity. We could then petition for Ambitar to be the new universal standard! Man I wish there was some stupid level music company like As Seen On TV that would buy anyone's dumb ideas, I'd be rich lol
@@mariemacfhionghuin11 it's called a classical guitar
@@mossmacarthur504 although left or right handed classicals don't have a middle pricing
i am a left-handed player of quartertone guitars (even more rare than fretless). too bad about the broken neck. there's no hope with a broken neck.
Hahaha that part in the solo with all fast notes and the sliding had me laughing so hard and then you destroyed it thank you
I like the sound of the instrument. What may be useful is to become comfortable playing the natural minor starting on the 2nd fret up and down each string. After you play a fingered note there is a harmonic on each note. That can go a long way in helping you orient yourself on the fingerboard.
This is the perfect guitar for people like me who fake shred an imaginary guitar while listening to a song without knowing what they're doing
Basically me
Exactly what I do
Same here

Right?! Really let down that they wouldnt innately develop their ear and finger placements after years of playing

Good guitarist and bassist tell me they have ear training
Nah, the orchestra ppl does not laugh of the ppl, they know what real bullyng means, u are just stupid man n.n
Taylore Red It’s the same with me
Taylore Red A cello, violin, viola, etc are different from a guitar different sizes, different way of holding and playing. And the vibration speeds are different never compare a guitar to an orchestra
@@lilp4pii310 I never compared anything to an orchestra, intonation is intonation regardless of instrument
Looks like you just bought a really big viola! Some good wood glue like furniture makers use (I do that) would hold that cracked neck just fine. I would recommend Titebond III. The reason it cracked is that the maker didnt pay attention to the grain direction in the neck, so it split along the grain.
Great sound. Just shows how an expert can get an amazing sound from anything. Thanks for posting.
I wish I could afford a fretless guitar, no matter how cheap it is. The last part of the video broke my heart
yeah. i enjoyed the video til that, but that was unnecessary.
Rondo music had them cheap AF
lol it was worthless piece of shit guitar
I died inside to bro
It would cost more to repair than buy a new one.
no cap, I really liked how it sounded before you marked the frets, it sounded very bluesy, and hearing those kind of micro-tones from a guitar is really nice.
Agreed.

Strings snapping...in 1963 or 64 I was tuning a guitar for the first time in my life when the skinny E string snapped: I couldn't find the end of it and I was getting confused so finally I set the guitar down on the couch to figure it out when I felt something on my cheek. I thought it was a bug or a fly and tried to brush it away. I grabbed the string at the bridge, ran my hand along it and discovered that the end of the broken string had stuck straight into my face barely below my eye. That was scary. I've been real cautious ever since. Watching you turn your head away is what reminded me of that incident because that's how I tune my guitars every time.

Also, this crack happened with mine, so I took all the hardware off, reglued, and clamped it. Good as new
jcwarlock good job
What glue did u use
mgmt1215 Liquid Nails or J-B weld would probably work well.
mgmt1215 I recommend elmers glue 👍
@@mgmt1215 I just used basic wood glue, I wedged open the crack more by bending back the neck, squirted glue on both sides, removed the wedge, clamped it shut hard, wiped off any excess from the crack and left it for 6 hours. Shaved off any dried excess glue with a razor, Sanded with 2000 grit, and polished some candle wax into it
The surprisingly satisfying and unexpected conclusion of this video is appreciated!
You sure got a hold of the pitch quickly. Your track sounded great.
Better fret marking process: find the harmonics, mark those.
That’s exactly the fret marking process currently. The higher frets denote harmonics above lower fretted notes. I think you mean harmonics of open strings...?
@@henryzproduction7945 watch the video before commenting.

Yeah that shit was great
@@aloysiusdevadanderabercrombie8 damn
Is that just a freestyle or does anyone know the name of that song
Thank God for youtubers like you. I did have the idea to pluck out all the frets on a really cheap 12 string because of the intonation and equal temperament were not accurate, almost exact half of a ... Half note out, which is mighty annoying if you love playing up near the 12th frets. Hearing this, makes me wonder now if I should have just done it, rather than return it.
Great video. Why didn't you just glue the crack before clamping it and fix the guitar before playing it? That said, LOVED your riff, and think the fretless sound is WORTH exploring! I hadn't expected that!
Any beginning luthier can easily de-fret a guitar for you: just pull the frets and fill the grooves with a slightly different shade of filler so you have perfect markings exactly where the frets were.
I did that to get into playing fretless bass almost a year ago, except I didn't fill in the frets, I got the cheapest used p bass at guitar center for $50, though I plan on upgrading to a warwick before too much longer now that I know I enjoy it
@@deathsicon not filling in the frets is one of the worst things you could do, its going to warp like hell
@@cursedcliff7562 haven't had a problem yet, and even if I do, the thing only cost me $50 and is a Wal-Mart quality instrument, already looking at getting a decent warwick to replace it
but then no saran wrap fun
I remember looking into it and true fretless guitars apparently have to have slightly differently shaped not-fret boards or something like that to play better

Nothing screams sadness like a newly shipped guitar with a broken neck : (
I play fretless bass guitar. From my experience fret markers only take you so far. I learned to play it by ear. The markers aren't 100% reliable because there are other factors involved such as intonation, string gauge, tross rod tension, etc that affects the pitch of the note on a micro tune level. You are honestly better off just learning to play the thing without looking at the fretboard, that way you can learn to react and correct pitch by ear regardless of the state of the these factors. This of course up to a certain point. If you are widely out of tune that will still throw you off a bit, but fretlessness does give you the possibility to correct in real time way more than a fretted instrument ever could.
I'm a Fretless player . I can confirm everything you wrote. At one point you simply "know what you are doing" , but it took me nearly ten years of hard practice and a lot of tears.
But in the beginning you just need something keeps you on track. A full blind instrument for a beginner is impossible. Myself too I started painting the fret ten years ago. It took me at least 4 years before I started to follow ears and my hand .
But yeah, the control you get after the years of practice is something a fretted player can never truly understand.
It's called a violin.
@@williamleardini8876 String instruments beginners start almost always with markers (any tape). They last usually for a couple months. The difference is that you also need some exercises to put your hand and your ear in order, while in guitar/bass and etc you don't. There's plenty of ways to understand if you are playing on tune or not, before you train ur ear, for most instruments. I don't play guitar but by logic, I'd say that if u take too long or can't learn how to play a fretless instrument, it's because you are not following a method for that, if u just ignore the marks but keep doing the "normal" exercises, u will just be making everyhing way harder, it's just not worth it. I'd recommend to watch some shifting position exercises for violin just to understand the logic and then just apply to a guitar,bass and etc.
@Zack Hall No. Many guitars have truss rods. Their purpose is to counteract the tension of the strings. You can actually adjust them to get different curvature on the neck of the guitar.

The sad thing is, a little wood glue and a home made clamp and time would have fixed this guitar pretty well.
Right? That was a nice long break along the grain of the neck. My favourite because of how easy to fix. I would've probably pulled the break apart a little more to sand a bit of the break cleaner and give a little more surface area for the wood glue.

When i saw him break the guitar that was an instant dislike for the video, you are not a fuckin' rockstar, don't do that shit.
I wanted to e-mail him to see if he would be willing to sell that guitar; i have the exact same model, a Ibanez EX Series 350 in laser blue color, it's just the best guitar i've played and i've been longing for another one, they're just too difficult to find. All that fretwork was done by someone who didn't seem to care too much about the guitar, you can see how bent the guitar neck is, i wouldn't mind repairing it, it'd been such a delight to add some frets and bring it back to life... until i saw the end of the video, it felt like a hit in the nuts.
Same here man, same here 😔
It's always sad to see someone treat instruments with that kind of disrespect. I'm totally pissed by that *** right now.

@Antony Blazhev So theres literally millions of guitars out there. Who cares, he bought it, literally every rockstar ever has destroyed a guitar at some point on stage. Good for him. It was prolly frustrating making this video and felt good to break that piece of crap

Sounds pretty good to me. Not your everyday guitar but one for the utility belt. So it looks like the package got the old UPS Stamp of Approval before delivery. I can tell that it was UPS because if it had been shipped USPS it would have gotten "lost".

This was like one of those vidoes where someone takes in a homeless, mangey, one-eyed puppy and then lovingly helps it to make a full recovery. Except on this one they took it outside and stamped it to death.
The end was mo better. Very nicely done.
I pulled the frets out of my first guitar (80’ Kramer Pacer Series) and filled the slots with wood putty and installed my first double locking trem (Kahaler) myself, on a Adrian Belew geek fest in the 90’s.

As a gamer, my comparison for a fretless guitar with no fret markers to video games is like playing a shooter game with no crosshair. No way of knowing if you’ll hit what you think you’ll hit until you shoot
CSGO players do weird ass crosshairs or none lol
How many of you were yelling at your screen for him to glue this thing before tightening up the strings? LOL I know I was!
I could see the headstock pulling forward as I'm cringing so hard. This could have easily been saved with a little bit of patience and time .
For Real!!! And then when the clamp was on, I was like "ok, he finally found the wood glue" But no... ??? Literally could have been made like-new so easily
Yep. Pray to the goddess Araldite.
@@jackdallwitz5086 lol good one
Yeah, I was thinking he could take off tension and glue that guy and clamp it up for a day or two and give it a proper try. This was funnier though and he probably would have wanted to smash it at the end anyway. :)
Why this sounds like floods outro?It's freakin' awesome.
A lot of sus2 chords, the end of the dark trail by the fall of troy has a pretty floods-ish sounding outro too
THAT IS IT BROTHER!
By Of Mice & Men?
@@skinnyjeens5521 I was assuming pantera but if not then I'm dumb
Cause it’s played with a slide which gives a fretless sound
Super dope video 💯
The ViseGrip is a nice touch ! ......however, the finishing touch, with the driveway slam and Nike slide was the best part !!
A laugh for the violinist, cellist, bassist.
*viola*
eee 😁
How dare you single out my dearly beloved😭
Spent 10 racks on a c string
@@ryan_alexander i can't stand your e string
Lingling insurance
"i dont think theres a person in the world who can play a fretless guitar without markers." isnt that just the idea of violins
Violins have less than 8 frets per string, and all are the same size
I mean, Same size like: |······|··|······|·····|··|·····|
Exactly... I feel like the majority of seasoned players can play reasonably well up to frets 9 or 10.
@@HollowB you clearly don't play the violin
Plus viola, cello and double bass.
😂😂😂😂
Sounds amazing. Or perhaps your skills made it sound amazing. Surprised there aren't more famous musicians playing this type of guitar.
Dad - I fixed your guitar!
