Fanned-fret guitar
Fanned-fret guitars are guitars characterized by a multi-scale fingerboard and "offset" frets, that is, frets that extend from the neck of the guitar at an angle. This is in contrast to the standard perpendicular arrangement of other guitars. Proponents of this style of guitar claim such benefits as comfort, better ergonomics, better intonation, and better control of the tension of the strings across the fretboard.〔("Novax guitars." ) Novax guitars website.

==Ralph Novak==
Ralph Novak is a guitar designer, builder and repairer who brought back an old technique in the design of the fanned-fret guitar (used on stringed instruments since the origins of guitar itself). His merchandise tag was to provide an "ideal" electric guitar for blues musicians.〔("Ralph Novak." ) Vintage Guitars website. Accessed 17 October 2012.〕〔() Greenfield guitars website. Accessed 11 December 2012.〕 As a musician, he wanted an instrument that provided better tonality and prevented his fingers sliding from the end of the fret when bending the high E string.
:"“The fanned-fret idea actually started out from a very simple and very selfish notion”, says Novak. “As a blues guitar player, I liked to do a lot of note-bending, and at the same time I liked to have a crisp, crunchy sound on the low strings. My initial idea was to create a guitar that had a Les Paul-type of sustain and sweetness of the trebles and had the kind of crunch and definition of a Tele or Strat on the basses. From doing repairs for a number of years, I knew it wasn’t the construction, the stiffness of the neck, or the types of wood causing these tonal things. And it wasn’t the pickups.”〔 Novak copied an old method of fret positioning, which provides to each string its natural scale length, to achieve a better intonation on the whole string set.
