One way to play 34-edo on a 17-edo guitar is to tune each pair of adjacent strings 9\34 apart. That's 317.6 cents, just 2 cents sharp of a just 6:5.

Among the possible [[skip fretting]] systems for 34-edo, the (34,2,9) system is especially convenient in that every 11-limit interval spans at most 2 frets, and if you exclude intervals involving the 17th and 19th harmonic, every 31-limit interval spans at most six frets. If you include 17 and 19, the range rises to eight frets. (Note that 8 frets on a 17-edo guitar is a big stretch, equivalent to 5.67 frets on a 12-edo guitar.)

Since it makes playing music composed using [[keemun]] temperament particularly easy, it could also be called a Keemun or Kleismic guitar.

In the folowing the strings are vertical and the frets are horizontal. 1 represents octave equivalents of the root, 3 represents octave equivalents of the 3rd harmonic (3:2, 3:1, 3:4, etc.), etc.
In the following the strings are vertical and the frets are horizontal. 1 represents octave equivalents of the root, 3 represents octave equivalents of the 3rd harmonic (3:2, 3:1, 3:4, etc.), etc.

From these, the location of most compound intervals can be added by vector-summing the string-fret positions of the interval's factors. See [[Skip fretting system 48 2 13]] for details on how that's done.
