Happy Saint Patricks day

[Alistair Hay]

well actually Saint Patricks day has just ended here but its Still the 17th in the USA.
This is a big holiday here as you know but Im still trying to get caught up on orders so I was working today. It was quite fitting that the guitar I was completing today was green, A fan fret X30 with 7 strings. 7 strings give a great added dimension and range with the extra low B but its hard to get good tension and definition from the low B without using a very heavy string. The perfect solution is a fan fret design, this one has a 27" scale on the bass side running to 25.5 on the treble.
This gives great string to string balance and really helps intonation. It may look like it would be hard to play but actually the fan is very natural to adjust to and is as easy to play as a standard neck.
