Heres a video of him demoing his older setup: http://www.musicradar.com/news/guitars/video-local-hs-scott-...
I saw them a few weeks ago and he no longer uses the same setup, but I've always thought it was inventive.

I'm not a virtuoso, but was inspired by some others trying to get more range, especially Charlie Hunter (whose fanned frets are nuts), various metal guys, and the Chapman Stick.
I like the idea of a guitar that can easily reach lower registers. Whilst 7-string (and in Charlie Hunter's case, 8-string) guitars are possibly more versatile, I'm quite partial to baritone guitars. This sounds beautiful to me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_06O8XnJQo
Talking of unconventional instruments, you may be interested in hearing these microtonal guitars, I think the second one in particular sounds pretty good: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iRsSjh5TTqI
