In addition, the invention with a scalloped fretboard which is continuous with the neck is also disclosed. The spacing of the flat fretboard is provided by removable frets on the fretboard, thus varying the spacing there between to simulate various sections of the neck of a stringed musical instrument such as a guitar.
