^ Isn't that a Peregrine? I'm probably getting that wrong, but I don't recall seeing that S7ce designation...

OK, cool. Well, I guess I just never saw the catalog pages for them before.

As a total veer, lookin at the Paloma (SC3), I wonder why they didn't do that as a fan fretted guitar. It looks like it was meant to be one.

In any case, boy those are beautiful guitars. I'll bet the Nashville guys were pretty proud of them!

I would think increased cost. With all the jigs (I assume) and measurements well established adding fan frets would complicate the build. I would also think that fan frets would have been a bit niche.

Having written all that I really want a fan fret guitar.

Definitely, GAD. My thoughts were that the design of the fingerboard extension and the bridge look like they were meant to be for a fan fret. In any case..... ME TOO! :D Hell, I'd take a Peregrine as is if someone wants to give me one! :D :D
