Anyone ever tried a guitar with slanted frets?
Like the Rickenbacker 481? I havent had the chance to try one yet, but would really like to. Anyone with any experience and opinions? -------------------- Guitars: Schecter Stiletto Classic, Jackson SLSMG, Ibanez RG-380 Japan, Gibson Les Paul Studio

This would be a guitar with slanted frets:
 The frets are supposedly more ergonomic and stuff It's also called fanned frets. This post has been edited by Trond Vold: Mar 9 2008, 01:53 PM -------------------- Guitars: Schecter Stiletto Classic, Jackson SLSMG, Ibanez RG-380 Japan, Gibson Les Paul Studio

i heard fanned frets give your guitar a bigger range, not sure how many extra notes.

I've never seen this model, but saw these kind of frets couple of times. Very interesting! I would definitely want to try it out to see how it fits.

QUOTE (Marshmall0wz @ Mar 10 2008, 01:19 AM)  I played one last week and it feels a bit better than regular frets. They fit your natural hand shape better and are really cool but they take some getting used to for chords but after a few hours its really a better feel but not by a ton. just a cool feature not that popular though. I was playing some random custom made zebrawood. it was awesome and the frets are not called slanted they're officially called fanned frets. knock yourself out trond. Cool.. thanks You summed up what i was curious about. -------------------- Guitars: Schecter Stiletto Classic, Jackson SLSMG, Ibanez RG-380 Japan, Gibson Les Paul Studio
