''Fanned-fret guitars'' have a multi-scale fingerboard because of "offset" frets; that is, frets that extend from the [[neck (guitar)|neck]] of the guitar at an angle. Ralph Novak (Novax Guitars) was the first to apply this idea to the electric guitar (1988).<ref name=":0" /> The frets are arrayed on an angle, in contrast to the standard perpendicular arrangement of other guitars. Proponents of this style of [[guitar]] claim such benefits as comfort, better [[ergonomic]]s, better intonation, and better control of the tension of the strings across the fretboard.
