uncle john, I also made a trapzoidal shaped neck for the fanned fret board, makes cording and playing a little easier. you can see more pics here.

uncle john, fanned frets are pretty easy. it creats 3 different scale lengths. attached is a link to an easy way to calculate them. http://www.ekips.org/tools/guitar/fretfind2d/

Nice work on these. Great looking bunch.

I do not understand fanned frets, but they sure look cool.   Ms. Padauk is the girl of my dreams.

The frets on the middle one are a ballsy move.  I like.

Great work on the headstocks as well!
