27 fret guitar question

[shred-o-holic]

i dont have it yet, and dont know the model....i was very unfamiliar with it....its an esp.....my origional question pertained to how some new 27 fret guitars have curved frets for intonation like rusty cooly and some shred guys...they said it kept intonation more accurate...you seem to have had good times so i might take your word and get it....i do need a floyd

I picked up this LTD a month ago:

Love it........plays great.........sounds great.........all 27 frets easily accessible.......I'm sorry what was your question?

If you look at those fanned fret guitars you'll see the nut and bridge are angle more to increase the scale length of heavier gauge strings as you move up the neck. Sort like going from a Fender or Gibson scale on the lighter strings and moving towards baritone lengths on the heavy side of the neck. So the frets have to be fanned to accommodate it. But as long as the frets are spaced correctly, you could have frets all the way next to the bridge and not have intonation problems.

If you only want the Floyd, are you going to part out the rest?
It sounds like an ESP ltd 327 from your description I want to do a 27 fret project do you want to sell the body and neck?

The Rusty Cooler sig. doesn't have curved frets, and having curved frets has nothing to do with the number of frets.
A well-made neck won't have intonation or twisting issues, a poorly-made neck will.

It's as simple as that, and the number of frets has nothing to do with it.

im sorry your right there is no chance that guitars made with extra frets could not cause an intonation problem....your right there is just no possibility that the craftsman ship of these extra frets could actually cause a problem....im sorry for wondering...

Clearly these losers never heard about the boatloads of Fenders that had to be scrapped after going up to 22 frets from 21...

Or the truckload of Jacksons that were trashed when they went up to 24 frets from 22...

More frets always means more instability...
