One can play in 90-edo on an 18-edo guitar, by tuning the strings 17\90 (226 and 2/3 cents) apart. The resulting system allows a player to reach any 13-limit interval by crossing a maximum of only 4 frets. Octaves lie across six open strings and one fret, or on the same string 18 frets up (because 90 is divisible by 18).

For string players, a drawback of this system is that harmonics 3, 7 and 13 all lie on the same string, so only one of them can be played at a time. (For keyboardists this is irrelevant, as all three notes can be played simultaneously.)
