Sorry, it's actually the "Circle Fretting System." Fugigen is using it on many of their higher end guitars:

Because the strings on a guitar are not parallel, the frets should actually be curved for proper intonation on each string.

The curvature isn't very great ...

That's hard for me to envision. I would like to see a real neck with that system on it.

Hey if you looking for the Les Paul style, cant go run with vintage Burny and Grecos. I own a couple of Burnys and a Greco. You get the fret edge binding comparable quality. If you do mind a little natural relicing you can get em for well under the amount for the orville.

Look at the inlay/chinkin (like tattooing with carving knives) work on this body

No wonder we never get to see these guitars. I bet Paul Reed Smith is buying them up.

The effect is subtle at best, visually. gonna have to track one down to try it out , I guess. Won't be easy to find around here. maybe our Aussie or Kiwi buddies could find one locally?
