Never heard this guy before. His axe is what got my attention....Very cool looking! Bass & Guitar together with fanned frets. Imagine playing a gig with this: [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Conklin has some of those fanned fret models too. The melted top models are quite nice as well.
Check these monsters out.

You should go, he's a very talented guitarist and his music is very interesting to listen to.

My bass teacher is really a touch player and plays 14string Warr guitars. 7 bass strings and 7 guitar. That is crazy.

Dingwall is another company that utilizes the Novax fanned fret system.

Dingwall Guitars

I almost got one, but ended up buying a Roscoe instead.

[/ QUOTE ]I saw him about 3 months ago. The guy is, hands down, the best guitarist I have ever seen. He plays the bass and guitar parts on every song, at he same time. It was just him, a sax player, and drums, and it sounded incredible.
