Professional Fretless Electric Classical Guitar With Equalizer CP-3
- På lager og klar til afsendelse
The CP-3 is a fretless classical guitar with built-in pickup and 4-band EQ — designed for players who want true microtonal continuity (no fret stops at all) combined with stage-ready amplification. Coming from the Turkish fretless guitar tradition pioneered by Erkan Oğur and Yavuz Akyazıcı, this is the most expressive end of the microtonal spectrum.
Fretless vs adjustable-fret — which is right for you?
Fretless guitars let you play any pitch on the continuum — no quantization. The cost is that intonation is entirely up to your ear and fingertip placement. Adjustable-fret guitars (CK-5, CA-5) lock you into precise pitches you choose. The CP-3 is for players who have ear training and want continuous-pitch expression: slides, bends, microtones, vocal-style ornamentation. It's harder to play and unforgiving — but no other instrument gives the same expressive range on a fretted-style classical body.
Best for
- Advanced players with strong intonation skills (typically 2+ years on a fretless instrument)
- Performers in the Turkish fretless guitar tradition (Erkan Oğur lineage)
- Cross-genre players combining oud, fretless bass, or violin techniques onto classical guitar
- Composers using extended techniques (microtonal slides, vocal-style ornamentation)
- Recording artists looking for distinctive timbre that stands out in arrangements

FAQ
How long does it take to learn fretless guitar coming from fretted?
Plan on 6–12 months to reach reliable intonation, longer to reach performance level. Players coming from fretless bass, violin, or oud transition faster (typically 2–4 months) because the ear training transfers.
Are there visual reference marks on the fingerboard?
Yes — small inlaid position dots at standard fret intervals serve as visual reference, but you must still place your finger accurately by ear.
Can I add frets later if I change my mind?
Technically yes, but it requires a luthier to slot the fingerboard. The labor cost typically exceeds the price difference to a fretted model — most players who try this regret it.
Does the pickup work the same as the KG-5?
Yes — same under-saddle piezo + 4-band active EQ system. Plug directly into any PA or amplifier.
What strings do you recommend?
Standard tension nylon classical strings work well. Some advanced fretless players use special wound nylon or fluorocarbon strings for clearer harmonic content.
