fanned frets are really easy to play... its no more difficult to adjust to than it is changing scale lengths. Maybe a few minutes at most if its a severe fan but the improved tension makes up for that
i have a fanned fret guitar that i automatically shove into peoples hands when they come round, just to see how they react... first you see fear :twisted: then you see them try some simple riff :? .... then you see them adapt and liking it :P
when ailean was round the other week his comments were that it looked wieird from the front but seemed almost natural once in a playing position
and thats it.. if the scale lengths are chosen wisely and the perp is in the right place it works really well (perp= the one fret that isnt fanned, perpendicular to the scale length)
I have a baritone in the works that will be 26.5 on the treble and 28" on the bass with the 7th as the perp.... gonna be pretty special!!!!
