Like, why would anybody ever do that? :lol: The guitar even looks relatively well built from a distance. Why ruin it that way? :eek:

Huh, this is actually quite interesting. It looks like those frets line up with strings like if they were regular frets without a fan. But I guess bends are bad idea on this guitar.

It wouldn't be a fanned microtonal guitar, would it? Actually, the more I look at it, the more I agree with Nlelith - it looks like the strings intersect with the frets on the fretboard at the exact same points as standard frets.

Huh, now that you mention it... that could be it. If that's the case, that'd be a pretty interesting concept, and I'd be interested to see what it does. I take back what I said in my previous post, unless it is eventually proven unusable. :lol:

I REALLY hope whoever commissioned that knows how to use it, cause I don't think anyone else will.

"Hey, man, that sounds cool, what key are you playing in?"
"Uhhh..." (looks down at fretboard) "Good question..."

I see the "fret meets string at normal point" thing now, and now I'm even MORE confused by what the point is supposed to be.

Interesting, though immensely impractical. I'm betting it was done as a sort of art project. Like more of a visual piece than something practical. I think the diamond shapes created by the frets vs strings is appealing. Would never buy or play one, but it looks neat.

I'm about to block that image in my browser so I don't have to see it anymore. Gives me a migraine.
