jammy Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 Beautiful! Do you have a link to where i can view all of your fanned fret instruments? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregP Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 I can't get over the off-balance body design; however, the craftsmanship looks great. I've always wanted to try a fanned fret guitar, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erikbojerik Posted March 11, 2007 Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 Playability...how do you like 5th-fret straight compared to 12th-fret straight? I'd imagine 5th-fret would be easier for rhythm players, and 12-fret for shredders? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Posted March 11, 2007 Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 I'm told it has a very natural feel. I'm also pretty interested in trying out a fanned fret instrument. Here's a video of Rusty shredding on his fanned fret 8-string Conklin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
