14-string fanned fret ???

03-23-2008, 03:08 AM

Is it possible to do a 14-string fanned fret guitar?

I really like my mandolin and I kinda want a 12-string guitar, but it would be fun to have the same range as the 7-string. So an electrical 14-string guitar with fanned fret would be the best.
But is that even doable?

Munky have a custom 14 strings from the LACS based on the K-7. There's even a 7 +14 strings double neck in existence, for Korn by LACS too. So it's very doable

Yeah, I think it can be done

Does anybody know if there are individual bridges to be found for 12-strings or do you have to go supercustom for the bridge ?

I think you can modify a TOM bridge for this, doing 2 notches per saddle should do.

Can you really use a TOM for fanned frets ?
