About an hour ago I received the email and viewed the guitars. As usual, visually stunning wood veneer I haven't seen before. For fans of fan frets, they will be getting pretty cool instruments.

Two of my very favorite guitar companies – Emerald and Kiesel – are deep into the fan-frets. I really need to try one out.

(BTW, Kiesel uses the term "multiscale" instead of "fan-fret", which I think is more descriptive of the function.)
