The problem certainly exists. The 6 string guitar is literally designed to be slightly out of tune, using the equal temperament tuning system. However, is it a problem that really needed a solution? I suppose it only matters if you are playing very clean Jazz or Classical. There is always someone who wants the latest gadget too, like self tuning guitars.
The problem is the 3rd is always slightly out of tune to keep the 5th in tune. That 3rd might be a 5th in relationship to another note. So if you correct it for the third, the 5th is off
Bonding to any metal depends on the viscosity and molecular size of the adhesive and the porosity of the metal. If your adhesive cant hold the metal it doesnt matter what you're adhering it to.
I feel like it’s more to see if we can do perfect temperament on a guitar. Before Bach, everyone had to tune their pianos every time it played a new key. Bach came in and said, “there must be an easier way”, then came up with the equal temperament tuning you hear everyday. That just means you can play in all the keys equally out of tune. That squiggle guitar can probably only play in tune in only a couple of keys. The rest will sound more out of tune than on a standard guitar.
People have absolutely been complaining about tuning and temperament on guitar for hundreds of years, there's just never been anything they could do about it. I'm not saying that this system is necessary, I'm just saying that the fact that the guitar can never be perfect is a known thing, and it bugs some people, that's why someone made this system and I assume that aspect of guitar has bugged some people as long as it has existed.
I was thinking the exact same thing. Lots of scraping to get the old glue out.. the normal pressed fret makes more sense for new fretboard or refret...or perhaps the heydont expect it to be a legacy guitar 😅
If you can afford this guitar you can afford a new neck and fretboard.. Stainless would be harder to shape than nickel based metals. I'm sure someone makes them but it ain't gonna be cheap. And with little competition they'll charge what they want for it.
Probably not. Heat from a soldering iron will soften the glue and release the fret. There is no fret tang pressed into the wood to add resistance. CA solvent to clean up the residue OR use the same router & program that cut the slots the first time. Might be easier than a normal refret.
People keep trying to sell this without recognizing thee obvious, the guitar already works. From Torres to Fender, we already love the guitar as it is.
The guitar is a compromise and I never use tuners, only ears, because the guitar can never be fully in tune and intonated. It's either open strings or fretted ones.
If your older and have been on a fretted instrument a long time a true temperament system with throw your ear off. Same with deciding to tune to 432. Even though it’s good on paper your ears have already been conditioned. This is why it’s difficult to remix a track that you’ve heard a certain way a lot. Any changes although an improvement will sound off.
It works exactly like straight frets. Once you've got the guitar in a playing position, you're not going to notice anything different from what you're used to.
@@JWoodcock Like when you bend the string the note rises but then you're crossing the lower part of the fret, which would make the note lower. I'm guessing it's not noticeable?
@@BFHPET It's impossible to get perfect intonation in all keys because the distance between the notes need to have the same proportion. Whenever you play in another key, you use a different combination of notes with a different proportion. Normal guitar are slightly off in all keys, but no too much in anyone.
@@PhillipMcKnightWhy no individual replys? Even when somebody is commenting directly to you.. Just spamming this link to everybody, regardless of what they write comes off as rude
@@PhillipMcKnight It doesn't solve the major third. They don't work properly on piano's either , which have individually tuned notes. You get really heavy beating on low major thirds. I've watched your vid already, and it's good. My friend has a Majesty with an evertune and true temperment frets. Doesn't solve the major third issue.
Phenolic.... Hmm, that's strong stuff if it's a similar compound to the material in timing gears that are also phenolic. Super cool and awesome guitar!
Want one of these SOOOO bad. Been drooling over them for years. You can get a neck. There's a company that makes them and you can just put them on anything. Man... Ive wanted one so bad for a long ass time. The notes!!! Wouldn't have to do "sweetened tuning" all the fucking time.
It might be great but it's also very expensive to upgrade a guitar or bass with a TT fretboard. Plenty pro musicians swear by these, and from the accuracy of the notes they're playing it's easy to see that TrueTemperament fretboards are definitely not a hype.
I always wondered about how they install these! Not sure why these get so much hate. Sure, they're not strictly necessary all the time, but I can think of some scenarios where I would definitely rather have that extra bit of precision in my intonation
Perfect intonation that wasn’t noticed because of vibrato, but now all the bends sound like crap, and when a fret change is due, you’ll have to take out a second mortgage. “If it’s not broke, don’t fix it” comes to mind.
I'm wondering... When you tune a guitar by ears, you make an harmonic over the fifth and or 7th frets (fourth on G string for the B string). The harmonics always resonate correctly, so, how harmonics resonate on this type of neck, when tuning using fifth and or 7th frets? Do you need to be exactly over the frets?
@@SubxZeroGamer 🙄🤦♂"The harmonics work whether there are frets or not! lol" 🤦♂Yeah, try to tune your guitar by making an harmonic on the E string between the fifth and 6th fret and do the same on the A string... Come back with your result... 🤦♂
This type of fretboard expands and contracts. Believe me. I already possess a Godin Summit Classic and gigged right under a very hot sun in summertime. The strings start buzzing like crazy. The phenolic material expands under heat. I sold the guitar!
If I'm playing an F# over a D chord it should be considerably flatter than if it was over a B, if it's going to be in tune. How will wiggley frets help?
@@TrafVal There is a review. Apparently they tried to cover the more used keys better than standard but something like C# is gonna sound more off than standard. But apparently it's still not terrible.
Strings and frets can only be "perfectly intonated" for one key. "Tempering" the intonation is like tuning a piano, with micro-adjustments to individual strings (or sets of strings in a piano) so that all the keys are similarly pretty-closely intonated. Same on this guitar.
A phenolic fretboard will not only shrug off extra humid or super dry conditions without swelling or shrinking but it may also survive atmospheric reentry from low earth orbit!
I think it has more to do with the tension on the string being equal, for example, using a thicker string to go down to drop b, instead of using a .048 string and it being all floppy with almost no tension, if that makes sense. That's my best guess from what I've read, but I could be way off.
A good Tailpiece ie. TP6 can bring you danger close to perfect up to 22 frets...if you want it better above 22nd that is where stretching and Vibrato correct it..Sorry guys not really going to sell this product..
Looks like the rookie at the Luther shop got the stock fret wire tangled up and the ultra frugal business owner said, Oh we're not wasting it. Slap them sh$ts on a guitar, mark it up 300% and we'll call it "unique".
My one gripe with true temperament is not what other people are saying about 'not being able to bend' with them. That's categorically untrue. My thing is that they can only be perfectly intonated for one tuning, and I change tunings of individual strings all the time
So when you fret a chord, are you changing the scale length of each string? And, even if your intonation is true, when you shape a chord or fret a string, the note will be off a few cents one way or another? This fret board fixes that? I’m a layman and don’t know how to write out questions

Looks like the rookie at the Luther shop got the stock fret wire tangled up and the ultra frugal business owner said, Oh we're not wasting it. Slap them sh$ts on a guitar, mark it up 300% and we'll call it "unique".
Dude I was waiting for how it sounded
A solution in search of a problem.

For most of us, equal temperament with accurate bridge and nut compensation is good enough.

Perfect intonation in what key? You can’t have it both ways.
How do bends work ? If you bend upward and the fret goes more toward the bridge wouldn't it sound even sharper
My one gripe with true temperament is not what other people are saying about 'not being able to bend' with them. That's categorically untrue. My thing is that they can only be perfectly intonated for one tuning, and I change tunings of individual strings all the time
alright but hows it sound

So, how do you vibrato note?
How do they manufacture the frets though?
What happens when you bend the string?
That's sick. I want one.

Would this be the same way of achieving the alternate way of tuning that James Taylor explained on youtube video?
Sounds great
So when you fret a chord, are you changing the scale length of each string? And, even if your intonation is true, when you shape a chord or fret a string, the note will be off a few cents one way or another? This fret board fixes that? I’m a layman and don’t know how to write out questions

True entonation, but for what key?
This is actually super cool as a guitarist i want this but its also probably super expensive
