Not true, if a piano is tuned to exact inetervals it would be way more perfect
than a guitar. But tempered tuning is more pleasing to the ear and technically the piano is not 100% in tune with a tempered system. And the old GS cliche 'it sounds more musical'. How can something thats not perfectly in tune be more musical? I have no clue but that's what we've been told for 300 years. Even a fretless gtr may not ever be perfectly in tune but without frets stleast the player can control the intonation better than a freted gtr or even a piano.


Ill check these out. thx
but they look like the Novax system

62 Tone Just

As far as what guitar I would buy under 2500, I'd have to go with a handmade TK. He's a helluva nice guy too.
