Comment :

I decided to experiment a little with this one.

I had read many great things about the multiscale fretboard, and I wanted to try one.

So I designed the Busy-B with the multi-scale in mind and coupled it with a neck throug construction and carved neck heel that would make it a breeze to reach the highest frets (even though I never play above the 12th ;-)

The bridge are individual units that allow the designer complete freedom in the configuration of the fret fanning.

The bass strings have a clearer, punchier sound that I believe to be superior to the sound of a "regular" guitar, and the fanned frets are not that difficult to get used to.
