If it sounds dead when you fret it that's just the nature of a fretles the tension and action should be relatively hi to play with slide

Nice box Cw like the crows feet. Looks like a solid build keep at it but watch out it can be habit forming

 hey that looks really good, much better than the first one i built, i like the crows feet too. you probably solved your busing problem by now, but seeing it is fretless you can come higher on your bridge by just packing under the bolt with some slim bits of wood.

Thanks Seaman!

Yeah the tracks are random.  I kinda went overboard with them.  lol

Cool, like the crow and prints! Make sure it is at the right tension for the strings you are using, may help with any buzzing is strings are too slack.

Nice design. Are the "traces" placed randomly over the fingerboard?
