The violin-making workshop MAMALAB Matthias Hammer - Galatone (LE), via Bachelet 9 - presents the fretless guitar (fretless) MAMA ZAPPLESS guitar 'signature' made especially for the guitarist Marcello Sapper. It is a fretless guitar sounds, and therefore by offering unique and expressive possibilities unimaginable for a normal guitar.
The pitch of the notes is not preset by the placement of buttons made of metal (in this case absent), but is achieved by correctly placement of the finger, as in classical instruments like the violin without keys, cello, double bass. This implies the obtaining of all sounds, not just those imposed by the Western tempered system.
The typical problem of instruments without keys compared to the corresponding instruments with keys of type 'normal', is the lack of sustain, which is here tried to compensate in every way using wood and very high quality components, like the body in Kaya, the top Cocobolo, the ebony fingerboard resting on a neck-thru neck, and a bridge Hipshot Hardtail.
In addition to the handle was Fernandes Sustainer pickup mounted that has the distinction of being able to indefinitely extend the duration of notes (with the same function of E-Bow), while the bridge is a Seymour Duncan Jeff Beck. The maximum grip of tuning is guaranteed not only by the fixed bridge, the nut with graphite and Grover locking tuners.

Zakk Wylde: All of a sudden, you start having trouble with getting out of bed
Has sobriety mellowed you out?
Nah. It was never really about that, it just got to the point where it started messing with the shows. When it starts getting in the way of shit, that’s when it just gets stupid. It’s like a football player—you run him into the ground enough, he can’t play anymore. All of a sudden, you start having trouble with getting out of bed and taking a piss, and that’s a problem. But nah, we’re still chilling. The rest of the guys are in the back pounding booze and smoking weed and shit the whole time! We got wide-load trucks unloading cases of hard liquor into the bus! more
