I play a 6-string electric, and I'm looking for a practice device...a partial guitar neck...for practicing my left-hand fingering when for example I'm in bed and can't sleep but I don't want to pull out my guitar. Here I've found one called the Little Fretty:

But I don't know if it's any good. Anyone use one of these?
I'm also thinking about buying a used guitar neck and shortening it and putting the bridge and strings back on. But I can't imagine bringing myself to cutting an actual guitar neck in half...I don't have the heart to do such a terrible thing...it never did anything to harm me. Or do they sell any full or partial-size real necks like this for practise? It doesn't matter if it's silent. Thanks in advance.

Back to your question, I don't think anyone puts a lot of stock in those little devices of various sorts. I'd recommend just picking up an actual guitar, it's not like it's a huge burden.

They make Guitars that are small for back packing and such. Martin makes one for about $150.oo, other brands also make them. Just keep a guitar next to the bed :!: I used to take it to the can with me when i was 13 :lol: :lol: :P-the dog
Looks like a DI<DO

Now, what's the question?"

lol, that was the general thought of many in the last thread about this. too bad search is gone.
man does that guy look like hes having a major rock out or what!?
The first time I heard a Beatles song was "Let It Be." Some little kid was singing along with it: "Let it pee, let it pee" and pretending he was taking a leak. Hey, that's what happened, OK?-some guy
i think that guy could make a piece of ham rock

The worst part of the last thread was that the link took you to a site where they had listed 101 uses for Little Fretty, and some of them were comedy gold when thought of "improperly". One from that unfortunate series:
Keep him rolled up for those emergency "bathroom moments".
You can't make stuff like this up folks, it's all real.

That guys name is Willis Whiteside. With a name like that you can probably beat your parents and get away with it. :lol:
Seriously, does not look like it is worth $25. It looks like a dog's plastic chew toy.
You could probably make something just as useful with a old 1x3, electrical wire (for frets), epoxy, some old strings from your guitar and a few nails or such. At least with the real strings you could practice bends, h/o's and p/o's.
Take a pass. If you need something to help you fall asleep get a music theory book and a small book light for bed.
