Who is recording using this fretboard?

[TasteForDisaster]

wow, that guitar looks amazing! how much does it cost? is it the only one? how much is it worth?

[aektzis91]

which pickup were you using in the bridge position? the classic plus??

[rockexpert]

only 1 question? Drop tuning possible not drop D im talking drop A or drop C or C# or do i need to spend additional costs on that aswell

Also, Steve Vai in another demonstration video makes an excellent example out of a standard A chord. If you tune your guitar so that the A chord rings in perfect harmony, then play a D, you will always (on a logarithmic temperament) find the D chord slightly dissonant. You can perform this on any scale length with any compensation for intonation. Temperament, or the adjustment of Hz on a per-fundamental basis across a scale, is what determines whether this chord can ring in harmony as well.

@JgHaverty True Temperament isn't necessarily offering a "better" system. What they are doing is simply offering multi-temperament guitar necks. If you want to learn more about what temperament is and how it applies to music, you can Google for more information. The science is quite simple, actually. By changing the fret layout on a per-string basis, it is possible to compensate for overtones that would have originally created dissonance on a logarithmic temperament.

@Chad48309 I am not your 'chat buddy', U pathetic clown. There is no point reading your nonsense. U can't possibly believe a word of your own krap. That would B outright insane. Who or what U pretend 2 think I am has nothign 2 do with the fact that they need 2 COMPARE 2 identical guitars playing the same material, except 1 with & 1 without the special fret system.

U R sitting there raping yourself in the azz as if making demos more useless serves U. What a fool.

[Chad48309]

@Deathrape2001 Overdriven effects and distortion do not mask the temperament of a guitar or alter the base note for each fretted string. Temperament is the change of hertz among notes across a scale. Typically, guitars are built with an equal, or logarithmic temperament in mind. This is born out of simplicity, as it allows for completely flat frets. True Temperament alters the scale for each string so that chords play closer in tune (or what the ear perceives as closer in tune).

@richogem U R trolling, therefore I call U a troll, because that's what U R. U R trolling right now even, pretending U R not a troll - trying 2 change the subject, like a troll - trying 2 make this about something other than the verifiable scientific fact that quartz crystal generates electricity when compressed.

I am not responsible 4 your retardation. I bet U R also fat & ugly. Oh well - SUX 2 B UUUU! =))

This is fcking awsome! Great job playing! I don't know if the sound is because the true temperament setup or because the player, but anyway this is freaking cool!
