? Ya got me... But Pearl River sounds Chinese, and call me cynical, but that makes me wonder if someone's patent/trademark/copyright/something has been violated. Could be another situation like the Aram guitars. The shape does remind me of some other model, but not sure what. I'd only buy known brands on eBay in any case.

Does look like the cheap guitar trend taking another turn.
My guess is the guys on e-bay are getting hold of very cheap ($20-$40?) guitars. Ones that no self respecting shop would stock. They then put them on e-bay, really cheap, prop the price up will some self bidding, and hey presto - you are making a living.
Very bad for the Kharma though.

Play the blues guitar with your soul, but play the fretless guitar with your spirit.

Pearl River are mainly Piano manufacturers, but they also do production line guitars - loads of them!
There is a very uncomplimentry review of one on Harmony Central, reads like a load of junk.

Was looking for some info on this fretless EG5-CB from pearl river after i bought it. Couldnt find anything, BUT... The review on Harmony Central is a crappy strat copy.
In all honesty, i think it was worth the 105$ that I paid for it. Definately a very cool guitar. Its my first fretless, i wanted to spend about 100$ on a cheap guitar and de-fret it, but i figured this would be easier. I think its totally great... The only thing im not sure of is the body wood. But it plays great.. Figured i'd shine some light on that for you guys. I am planning on putting some DiMarzio's in there, to make it sound a bit better.

I'll get some before long. Nothing as of yet. I'll also register pretty soon too lol.
I want to get a fretless 7 string, but i figured i'd try this first, since its more readily available. I'm definately digging this whole fretless thing. \m/

Yup!! It worth your 105 bucks although it's a junk (No offence)!! You know what? Actually you only paid 5 bucks for the River. The $100 is the defretted labor. Most of the luthiers will charge you 150 bucks.

George Peacock of Peacock Music in San Francisco (Noe & 15th) only charged me $75 to defret my Yamaha. Granted he didn't work on the action...
$150 is a reasonable amount actually.

with the exception of (1) thing, it actually plays very well.
On the A string, i cant get the Bb in tune (The one that corresponds to the first fret). Everything else on the string is in tune fine, and all the other strings i can get in tune on the same 'fret line'. If i can figure this out, i'll be totally happy with my purchase.
Edit: Fixed. Truss rod adjustment \m/
