Ooooh I've got to try one of those fan fretted jobs! I've been doing much more a cappella because it takes a lot of energy for me to ignore the not quite right intonation. To be fair, some of that is due to the compromise between physics and playability that is equal temperament, but definitely some is the string weight difference. So I still really want to try these...might be just enough to tip the tuning into a comfortable zone for me. And now I'm picturing the next evolution: zigzag frets for 12-string guitars.
