Really interesting. Guitar is basically an imperfect instrument when it comes to tuning. I'd love to try one of these things. The fret material is usually brass which sure beats the hell out of the typical soft nickel metals for frets.

This guy is a fucking genius, I always let him handle my guitars when I am in Sweden and they come back as a dream every single time.

I like how all these clowns @ 'music' trade shows talk their azzes off & never play N E thing 2 demonstrate it. Oh sure - tell us all about how much it improves things. Don't actually SHOW us so we can HEAR a difference - just pretend words = success HAHAHA =))

I asked my luthier once if he can mount those frets on my guitar had I bought them and he admitted that he can't saying that it's too hard for him :/

I'd hate to imagine doing a fret job on a guitar with this frets. Especially a refret. I'll stick to regular frets and live with my chords being a little out of tune
