Fanned Fret System anyone?

[Larkinpeace]

Hi
im thinkin about make a 5 string multiscale fingerboard but I have some questions:
- What brand/kind of strings do you use? 37 scale must be difficult to find
- What space string to string to put normal pickups
- Where get your dagonal pickups
Thanx

I meant... those diagonal pickups..
- Space string to string at the bridge?
- Can I Use normal pickups but angled?

Dingwall Voodoo strings, Fanned Nickels

The Dingwalls are 18mm spacing.

Dingwall sells pu's. Nordstrand Big Singles fit with reverse poles. Carvin SP2 soap bars are the same exact size as the Dingwall's and Nordstrand's

I've always wondered... Is one able to play chords on a fanned fret without getting your fingers in an knot? Doublestops seem doable with some ajustments, but anything more than that? root, third, fifth, that kinda thing?

Not at all.

Yes It was a Conklin.it played great and the tone was very nice and growly.it was tuned Low F#-high F.it had only one Volume knob and one Pickup.By it being Fretless it would be the same as if it was a Non Fanned fingerboard,concentration would be the key.

I don't suppose you have any specs on it like scales lengths or pick up layout? Was the pick up straight vertical or was it slanted backwards?

I'm sorry but I don't remember the scale length and the pickup was very close to the bridge and it was slanted backwards.
