FANNED FRET
Model G1.2 DADGAD
Model G2.2
Model G3.2
Model G4.2
Model G4B.2
 

The DADGAD model G1.2

I crafted this fanned fret version of my model G1 for guitar virtuoso Tony McManus. Tony plays a lot in DADGAD and C tunings. The scale lengths I selected for the subtle fan of this guitar are perfect for addressing these tuning requirements. And while the guitar is meant to “live” in DADGAD, it also works well for double dropped D, dropped D and can even be tuned up to standard tuning (although should not be left there for extended periods). This model is lattice braced and presents with a slightly more “focused” voice than my regular G1.

The bass is clear and articulate and supports the melody rather than over-powering it. Mids are focused and tight and the trebles are fat and bell like. As with all of my guitars, this guitar is very responsive and evenly balanced from string to string. It has even volume all over the fretboard and above the body joint to the last fret.

Unfortunately, I was unable to photograph this guitar prior to delivery.  It looks just like my standard model G1 with a very sublt fan (which you can see in the video below).
