If the open strings are tuned in 9/7s or 7/5s, this makes a perfectly playable BP guitar with fret error under 9 cents. The only restriction is that you should never play frets 6 or above, because they're increasingly out of tune.</pre></div> | If the open strings are tuned in 9/7s or 7/5s, this makes a perfectly playable BP guitar with fret error under 9 cents.

By adjusting the nut in addition to the bridge, it may be possible to make a surprisingly large portion of the fretboard usable with good accuracy. This is because there is another degree of freedom to tweak. For decreasing the EDO number you would want to either raise the nut or move it away from the first fret, and for increasing the EDO number you would want to either lower it or move it towards the first fret.</pre></div> | |||
