Larmer Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 Aside from Dingwall and Novax, what are some other builders that offer the fanned fret option? I'm especially looking for manufacturers in Europe, to avoid the import taxes, etc. I know Shuker does, but I haven't got a quote yet. Cheers.

Unfortunately their prices are out of my range at the moment. I'm looking for a simple Jazz, in the veins of the Dingwall Super J, but for a budget of 1000-1500 pounds.

Worth a go, he can only say no and he might say yes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larmer Posted July 2, 2010 Author Share Posted July 2, 2010 (edited) Oh dear, I just found out Moses is now offering graphite fanned fret necks! [url="http://www.mosesgraphite.com/slant.html"]http://www.mosesgraphite.com/slant.html[/url] Unfortunately these are 35" to 34", however I just emailed them and asked if they're able to build one with a 34" - 32" scale. If so, it's exactly what I've been dreaming of for a long time now! :brow: Edited July 2, 2010 by Larmer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
