I feel this will be a very polarizing post.
Fanned fret 7 string acoustic.
I really want to love it and even though it s an incredible work by a very talented luthier i find myself on the side of hate.
If you re reading this to get an idea of how much of a learning curve there is to fanned frets let me tell you.
Regular guitars with ff ms fanned fret multi scale has little advantages.
I have many 7 string and 8 string guitars even a couple with 6 but none with fanned frets so i thought the price was right here to try it out.
Glad to see a string manufacturer take on multi scale.
1 the frets feel weird.
The kx500ff offers updated hardware a double cutaway for easy access to the neck and a new to series fanned fret design that improves tonal depth and clarity.
However i think where it matters the most are on extended range instruments such as 7 8 string guitars or more and on bass from 5 strings and up.
