My two multi-scale guitars...
I own two guitars with multi-scale fingerboards. They are not dramatic amounts of offset (1/4" on my Sexauer - top and 1/2" on my Klepper bottom). I decided on multi-scales to capture sweeter trebles of a shorter scale length with a fuller bass response on the E and A strings. I play in standard tuning. I honestly don't even notice that their multi-scales after a minute of playing each. The Sexauer has the most offset at the nut and is close to vertical at the 19th fret. My Klepper is vertical near the 8th fret and has increasing offset above and below.
