Fretboard Frenzy

Finally got to attend the second installment of Fretboard Frenzy, an initiative by Terrabox and Rosli Mansor to push the boundaries of local stringed instrumental music.

It was an eye opener to the talents that are virtually unknown to the everyday Singaporean. There are talents in this damn island and if only people would wake up and notice. Cannot wake up ah? Then Fretboard Frenzy wake you up lor....

Rosli Mansor winging it with his custom double neck headless fretted and fretless guitar.

Addy Rasidi, otherwise known as Addy Cradle. A super nice guy, extremely charismatic and good looking with mad chops on the guitar. A solo album is in the works and I'd like to see how Om Labs will be able to support him.

anonymous, its actually called "The vine of life" inlays. Normally reserved for higher end guitars but recently the cheaper made Korean guitars have it too on their premium series.
