Slope Fret Ariel

A special order for a customer with limited movement in his hands. In cases like this, I like to make a cardboard mock-up of neck, body and bridge for approval before going ahead. You can probably see the idea- it isn't a fan fret; all the frets are at the same angle so it's a slope fret or slant fret. I'm looking forward to seeing how it works.

I had Clive Caroll play it for me while I listened closely; it’s the best way to learn what is actually happening. I think all Fyldes have a strong middle, and this guitar has all the rest as well, even I am pleased.
