Instruments with Fanned Frets?

Forums:

Anyone have any experience with these types of fingerboards? I assume the fanned design is to give you more reach towards the upper register and/or other ergonomic efficiencies, but not really sure. Have never played one before, but am interested.. 

Thanks!

Paul Richards from the California Guitar Trio played one last time I saw them at Fur Peace. Better intonation is the aim, I think.

When I saw the Guitar Trio years ago all three of them were playing that type of guitar.

Bragging rights.
