I did a search for this before posting, and noticed that it is only mentioned in one thread - so I thought I'd bring it to the attention of the whole forum, because it is fantastic.
http://www.truetemperament.com/ Basically, a new approach to the design of the fretboard where fret positions aren't calculated mathematically, like they are with standard guitars, but with physical measurements. This results in a fine-tuned intonation for each note on the guitar, and it sounds fantastic. I know that Steve Vai has recently gotten well into this, as well as a bunch of other artists, so, check it out. -------------------- Want a website for you or your band? http://www.websiteformyband.com

I think watching this video allows you to appreciate how good the sound is
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V9uiBnM_AgE However, I wish they'd simply record someone playing chords up the neck. One of the main places you notice poor intonation is between the E and A chords. -------------------- Want a website for you or your band? http://www.websiteformyband.com

QUOTE (skennington @ Apr 11 2008, 11:31 PM)  Whoa man, thanks for sharing. This is definitely intresting. He talks about Just Intonation but it seems to me that the strings have more to do with it than the frets. I see theres a Jem there but they are advertising for bolt-on's. Is'nt the Jem a neck-thru? The Jem's a bolt-on. http://www.vai.com/Machines/guitarpages/EV...ody_bkLRG04.jpg -------------------- Guitars: ESP Semi-Hollow Eclipse, 1984 Ibanez Roadstar RS440, Peavey T-60, Daisy Rock Rock Candy Custom

Hey Nick can you tell us a bit more about this system. Like how it behaves in real life playing and can you bend with it properly etc..

bends are the same and playability is the same - it only terrifies people because it appears so different - but in actuality there is no noticeable different in the feel.

660 euro for a neck
 ? Steve Vai wrote Passion and Warfare with a normal fretboard and it sounds amazing, so...I think that my normal frets can still work...
