Fanned fret Recording King RPH-05
So I was looking for a cheap guitar to practice some blues on. And I stumbled upon a Recording King RPH-05. Unfortunately I don’t have this to play but I remember playing some Dirty 30’s (get what you pay for in mind) and liking them for blues. Well this one has fanned fretting. I cannot find this on an RK anywhere. I like drone thumbing bass in my blues with the sharper treble. Is it true fanned fretting deepens the bass and heightens the treble?

This sounds like someone’s project guitar with an aftermarket conversion to fanned frets. The multiple scale lengths mean you do get a bit more mileage in the bass strings when tuning down but I wouldn’t say more in the treble range. Maybe “sweeter” and easier to play due to the relatively reduced tension and fret distance.
