What is the purpose of fanned frets? proper tension throughout the whole scale (25.5" on the high E, 28" for the low 8), as well as superior intonation, and added ergonomics to compensate for the twisting of your twist with normal straight frets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Low notes sound better on longer strings. High notes sound better on shorter strings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Cougar Hunter Posted November 15, 2012 Members Share Posted November 15, 2012 I've wanted a Fanned Fret Guitar since I was 11 years old back in '93. Novax had some stuff in the GW Buyer's guide that year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a Novax Expression 7 for a bit, years ago. Sold it. It was before I was ready for 7's and it scared the crap out of me. I wonder if I'd like it now.

Just depends if 8-strings are for you, as not all 8-strings are equal!hardest part about it is that I tend to lose track when I'm up ~17th fret because the fan and lack of fret markers, but fret markers would completely eliminate that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
