| ===Get a new neck!=== | | === Refretting === |
| John Carruthers - http://www.carruthersguitars.com/
| | Refretting (or retrofretting) an existing guitar consists in adding new frets, moving existing frets and/or removing some of them completely. It is a good option for guitarists who prefer to keep the clean sound of a fretted guitar while keeping some freedom in the choice of pitches available to play. |

| | Fretlets, or adjustable frets, are short movable frets that can be added to any fretboard. The shortest fretlets are wide enough for a single string, but there are also longer fretlets that cover a few consecutive strings. Due to their shorter length, fretlets can be used to access more pitches without cluttering the fretboard with too many full-length frets. |

| | Microtonal frettings with more than 20-something frets per octave can be difficult to play. Those with fewer are usually either not very close to JI, or else are limited in modulation and/or voicing. An exception to this is the [[Kite Guitar]] (see also [http://tallkite.com/misc_files/The%20Kite%20Tuning.pdf Kite Tuning]), a guitar fretting that uses every other step of 41-edo, i.e. 41-ED4 or "20½-edo". The interval between two adjacent open strings is always an odd number of 41-edosteps. Thus each string only covers half of 41-edo, but the full edo can be found on every pair of adjacent strings. Kite-fretting makes 41-edo about as playable as 19-edo or 22-edo, although there are certain trade-offs. |

| One tack: take a trashy guitar and move the bridge to a different spot. You'll get a (not necessarily close to equal) division of the octave with ~10-15 notes. <a class="wiki_link_ext" href="http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/tuning/message/24" rel="nofollow">Dan Stearns</a> has done this, and so has <a class="wiki_link_ext" href="http://www.elvenminstrel.com/music/tuning/equal/13equal/13tet.htm" rel="nofollow">David Finnamore</a>, and more recently <em><a class="wiki_link_ext" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dEUtfiwF6GM" rel="nofollow">Jason Conklin</a></em>!<br />

| | * Marc Jones (NYC) |
| The Tritare, developed by folks in New Brunswick, Canada, seems to be fretted to a normal 12, but because it features 3-string groups the sound is FM-like and inescapably xenharmonic. Or is it?
