One way to play 87-edo is on a 43.5-edo guitar, tuning each pair of adjacent strings 17\87 apart. That's 234.5 cents, 3.4 cents sharp of a just 8:7.
One way to play [[87edo]] on a guitar is with frets every 2\87 (43.5edo), tuning each pair of adjacent strings 17\87 apart, or about 234.5 cents, corresponding to the sharp [[~]][[8/7]] generator of [[Rodan|rodan temperament]].
