[[Magic|Magic Temperament]] is a good, mainstream choice for an unequal guitar fretting.  It's almost as simple as [[Meantone]] but with much improved 9-limit harmony.  It can be close enough to just intonation to sound clean within the inherent imprecision of a physical guitar.  It has well tuned perfect fifths that will be familiar from 12 note equal temperament.  It can be tuned to 41-edo while minimizing the number of frets spaced by a single step.  As it isn't a Meantone, it will have comma problems when playing conventional music.  Magic supports full 11-limit harmony with acceptable tuning within the appropriate gamut for a guitar.
