@modsbeck Your strings at the bass end will be less floppy/you won't have to use ridiculous gauge strings because of the increased more natural length for each string. I think to have fanned frets like that makes a lot of sense and hope to one day have a guitar like that (even if just a regular 6 string) that I can afford. This guitar has a wonderful tone and that's an amazing piece Sir, the tapping at the end and the resonance this beast has sends shivers down my spine.
@RossWildish Well the guitar is not mine , i just do the demo's. Contact Emerald guitars website or you can get the Emerald guitars FB page. I would say your probably around 2000 + at a guess.
I saw the post regaring this guitar on Andy Mckee's facebook, and I'm glad I checked this out! I had always wondered why I never heard a fanned fret carbon fibre guitar before so I was very excited to so much as here of one :O The tone is incredible all throughout each string. Did Andy get a chance to play it? Thanks for sharing the link anyway, I subscribed.
@zenfreestyler It was taken to Andy's gig in Belfast by Alister who made the guitar. I have a photo of him with the guitar on my facebook profile page. Peter Vail . I would say you will see more creations from Emerald guitars very soon and i hope to playing them. Thanks for your interest.
I know you've only had the guitar a short while but there's a sort of intimacy there already and the piece is developing into something almost orchestral. Wonderful tone and cool instrument!

Hey I'm Irish and verry interested in Emerald. Can you tell me where they're based and a rough price range? Much appreciated dude. Awesome vids too.

Is there any particular reason to twist the frets like that?

Astounding Alistair! and equally so to the gentleman who is playing! Makes you wonder why all guitars don't have 9 strings! :)
