WHY DOES MY VIOLIN HAVE FRETS (AND DO I REGRET IT?)

Finally revealing the truth about my fretted electric violin and answering your most frequently asked questions! Why does it have frets? Do frets mean I'm cheating? Do I regret getting them?

These are all my personal experiences based on my preferences and my particular instrument! Not all fretted violin players feel this way, these are just my own feelings!

Some things I forgot to mention!

*You play on top of (or slightly behind) the frets, not in between them like a guitar. The instrument still works like a classical violin, where your finger placement determines the intonation

*One other note is since recording this video I found a luthier who can shave the frets down a bit so they're not as raised and I believe this will help with the intonation problem! I will keep you guys updated!
