If you don't want those low strings to be either really thick or really flappy then you really need to make the neck longer.
Multiscale is particularly useful when you start adding strings because they problems with normal frets get magnified which is why multiscale is particularly popular on 7 and 8 string guitars. If you're like most people your elbow will stay fairly stationary and the angle of your first finger on the neck will change as you go up the neck.
Move your hand up and down the neck like you're trying to polish it rather than play it (so the movement is not constrained by trying to match the frets). Multiscale lets you take advantage of that.Įrgonomically, they fit your hand better. Tonally, scale length makes a difference, given the same gauges of strings longer scale lengths tend to favour the bass, making the bass strings sound a bit tighter and clearer, whereas shorter scale lengths tend to warm up the treble strings. There are several reasons for fanned frets (also known as multiscale or compound scale).
