What the heck is going on with that 7 string fanned fret, lol. Are the frets actually rounded and bent?

To have straight frets on a multiscale instrument there has to be a linear difference between each scale. Each string 1/2" longer than the one next to it, for example.

That one shows what happens when the difference in length isn't the same between strings as you go across the neck. There is more of a difference beween the lengths of the two thinnest strings than between the two thickest ones.

I won't even try to figure out how they cut those fret slots.
