Anyone play / played one? What are they like (I'm imagining like a standard guitar but with strangely spaced frets) to play? Do they actually work?
I've read that it was designed originally for bending. Then I've also read that it retains a more even tension between all the strings, therefore improving tone etc.
I've got no interest in getting one. I'm just interested to hear from people that have used them.
Anyone?
I can't help about the shape I'm in, I can't sing I ain't pretty and my legs are thin
But don't ask me what I think of you, I might not give the answer that you want me to

Football is rubbish.
I have never used one, but having played a 7 and 8 string (fender scale) it was obvious they needed more tension. The 7 string could cope with a heavier string, but the 8 could probably benefit.
I've actually written to a forum builder to see if he can wood work me one at some point in the future so I can finish it and wire it up.
I think they look stunning, too. I'd almost consider it a different instrument - a true solo instrument, like a piano. Plenty of melodic stuff out there with open tunings that have a nice, big bass sound and a clear melody.
But, the fanned fret guitar should be more "in tune" than a standard guitar.
