Lowden F35 Fan Fret at Bluedog Guitars

[Bluedog Guitars]

Just arrived! This George Lowden Fan Fret was introduced at the Winter NAMM, and we just knew we had to order this multi-scale guitar!

Here's what George has to say about the Fan Fret:
"The main aim was to increase bass depth through increasing the string length on the bass side, while at the same time achieve more 'bell like' trebles by shortening the string length on the treble side...the only question now is 'shouldn't all acoustics be designed with the fan fret' - good question - remains to be seen, but for sure it works especially in dropped tunings with a medium gauge bass string."

That's the classiest guitar I have ever seen.

I played both of the Lowden fan fret protoypes at NAMM last January and they were very cool. Lots of folk were talking about these guitars.

My highpoint at NAMM was when Colin Hay and a friend of his came in and played a gorgeous duet in the Lowden sound room on the two fan frets... just sublime.

Put a cutaway on it and I'd want it. This is exactly what I 've been looking for.
