Gruupi Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 I am sure compensated nuts solve some of the problems in a static setup, but I think that the big problem is that the guitar just isn't stable, things just change. You need to get as close as possible with the instrument itself, and if you are really good, you think like a violinist and make adjustments with your playing.

JMaserati Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Thanks for the link to Steve Mason's site... great article. I understand the imperfections of the instrument, naturally... and agree with "equal temperament" tuning, but I wonder if anyone here has had actual, practical experience with compensated nuts (on the guitar, lol) I'm about to get a Warmoth neck with stainless steel and have the option of getting a "Earvana" nut.

Eric Iverson Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Has anyone here used an instrument with the Buzz Feiten fretting system? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G. A. Donis Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 http://www.truetemperament.com/site/index.php?go=1&sgo=3 Check out the above link. GP did a review of one of their necks in the December issue. Pretty wicked looking. I am pretty interested in one of these necks but they are not cheap.

d halfnote Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 The True Temperament guitars (by Paul Guy of Sweden have actually be mentioned here before. I've just posted a new thread that describes soem recent experiments I've done using a new approach (at least for me) that has totally replaced my previous mixed bag of adjacent string matching, harmonics, etc., built up over many years of playing. Rather than go through it here, I'll give the lick to wherever that thread winds up. Guitar tuning, the best solution so far https://forums.musicplayer.com/ubbthreads.php/topics/2130853/Tuning_guitars_the_best_if_not#Post2130853 d=halfnote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
