Fanned frets. A few smaller manufacturers still make them. The frets allow you to both play intoned and micro tones as well. Very difficult to play. My preferred solution to the "problem" is fretless guitars. I think that I might have trouble selling guitars with fanned frets, and they're kind of evil slotting the fretwires.
April--fretless with a Richlite fingerboard:
People who have also played string (bowed) instruments have a much easier time adjusting to this.
Mind you, some of us that can only play melodies by the dots, Burns Ernst, Dave Monk and Randon 275 style, with backing tapes have a soft spot for well fretted well intonated guitars with wide fretboards and singing pick ups ....
I'd never sell anybody a guitar that wasn't in tone. I could do ya a neck with a 1.75" nut width and maybe a 16" radius, if you like it flatter. I'd have to discuss with you the particulars of the neck profile with you.
Maybe something like this (Wanda, one of my wife's personal players that she stole from me):
Then, whilst building a guitar for you, I might vape off a setup like this:
I do love that NATO mod for some reason. Here it is with a Goon V 1.5 that has a cap on it that's from an absolutely dreadful Rincoe RDA.
Squonk break. Armageddon with Dead Rabbit and a Minion wrapped p26a peeking out.
Well, all here, I'll be taking a break for a bit while I head over to the West of Scotland to do up a holiday cottage I've bought over there.
God I can't quite believe it's that long ago that I started doing this as my Dad's labourer and apprentice back when I was 14 in 1964 and here's me still at it a couple of months off of 70 now!
So what devices are going with me? Bombproof thingies? State of the art stuff? Things with external batteries where I'd need chargers and all that?
Nah - just three iSticks and a Nauti Mini, spare glass, a charging cord, a packet of coils and half a litre of juice ... "Seemples!" as the Meerkat in the advert would say - be good all and see you on the other side!

Yihi SX Mini SL with Glaz mini and Steam Crave Hadron with Glaz v2, both have Country Clouds CBP in them.
I forgot I was out of rubber washers so my work came to a screeching halt for the day.

I love it! If you like the Apocalypse, then you'll like the Redemption. It's almost identical to the 24mm Apocalypse, but the new posts make for an easier build. Two .9ohm SS316l single strand.
$10 each--better get one or two before all that's left is rainbow.
I don’t have the Armeggedon yet. I ordered it along with Redemption. I was going to test it out before trying to buy another one but I think I’ll go ahead a couple more. Worse case if I don’t like it I’ll just pif it out to someone who needs an RBA.
Can you tell me about the airflow. Do you consider a restricted DL or an airy or something in between? I realize that can be somewhat subjective but I’d like your opinion. Thanks
It has a nice, easy to use airflow control that can be opened up all the way, at which point there's almost no resistance at all. Or you can close it up tight. Or anywhere in between. Very versatile, and the only atty (other than the Redemption) where I can consistently taste my juice. Ask the guy who vapes 0.5% flavoring what the flavor attys are. 
So I just had to build the other Redemption. On this one, I used two .8ohm claptons. I got it ready before I loaded Blair's body, and toked away happily while I worked.
Blair. Coming soon, from Estes Electrostring.
I've never seen a fretless guitar neck. Thank you.
