fanned fret guitars are also called multi-scale guitars. they extend or shorten the scale length of the guitar on a certain side so lower tunings sound less dark or higher tunings dont sound so brittle
his guitar is tuned lower than he normally does this song, because it has a baritone scale at the top and a normal scale on the bottom (27"-25.5")
i know this because im getting a fanned 8 string electric guitar made with the multi-scale feature
yes it helps with intonation but it doesn't allow for more frets on the thicker strings. it does however make it a lot easier to play the higher frets on the bottom strings but it also makes it more difficult to play the higher frets on the top strings.

Sounds like an awesome guitar you're getting, would be cool if you posted a video of that guitar when you get it! =)

They also make the basses more bass-ey and the highs more trebl-ey if you get my drift?

I heard rumors that it also helps with intonation and allows for more frets on the thicker strings. Is that true?
