I can not even imagine trying to play this bad boy. I've got a fretless bass, and that alone is pretty tough. Does anyone know who this was built for? and WHY?

Sounds to me like it left the factory a day early :-)

Fretless guitars are mostly used by players who want to experiment with micro-tonal or non-western scales. Godin do an even more bizarre production instrument called a Glissentar, which is an eleven-string fretless nylon electro. Very popular for middle-eastern music apparently.

I've got a dvd from 1992 of Chet Atkins and Jerry Reed in concert together. Chet played a Gibson nylon string fretless guitar on a tune (Summertime) and it was very cool. I don't remember hearing it on anything else.
