Multi-scale Breadwinner and Klien "Replicas"

Here's an article about an Ovation Breadwinner inspired ERG (It's 26″ to 24.75″ scale length, so it's baritone-ish scaled):

And two threads (Part 1 and Part 2)regarding a Klien-inspired multi-scale with an interesting DIY headless tuner. It's barely "baritone-ish scaled" (25.75" to 24.25"), but it's neither standard, nor 7-string, so I'll add it here.

If you download the PDF about the tuners, you'll see there's an "upgraded" version that uses 100tpi optical "nudge" adjusters, but you could use plain-old-extra fine threaded bolts.

The Ultimate Question: What string gauge is needed for 18.84# of tension when tuned to E2 on a 27" scale guitar?

Yes, the Breadwinner-ish one looks like the fan was adjusted to be parallel at the bridge.

Not bad pricing! What does "splayed fret" mean?

I knew a guy who had a breadwinner that he modded to play microtones. The body style was never really my thing, but I love fanned frets. 24.75"-26" is great for a six string, especially when you don't want to mess with repositioning the bridge (which is very difficult for a DIY-er on a trem-equipped guitar).

I assume that means the same as fanned.

It's the more UK-friendly version of fanned-fret.

I think I saw that. Didn't he also add sympathetic drone strings too?

Yes, yes he did, as a matter of fact.

Why do english speakers need to have three or more words for the same thing? I used to think it was so that more words would rhyme for poetry, but I don't think I've ever seen a poem about multiscale guitars before...or should I say "Ne'er have I laid eyes upon such a wonderful verbal set - as a lyrical sonnet 'bout the multiscale or splayed fret."

We need more poems.
