Lots of people like guitars. Lots of people get into microtones. Inexplicably, some people are in both of those categories, and now we have microtonal guitars. The ease with which guitars can be microtonalized is definitely to blame.

===Refretting===
===Go Fretless!===
The most direct way to get microtones, which leaves the most up to your ears. Tried by many, pursued with a dogged obsession with intonation by fewer. Lots of resources out there -- you might start with http://www.unfretted.com/

===Adjustable Frets===
===Adjustable Frets===  
A guitar with moveable frets that are split, and thus independent for each string, is perhaps ideal for a musical environment in which the musical scale varies from piece to piece. John Schneider calls his a "Well-Tempered Guitar." Wim Hoogewerf has one too.

===Quick n Dirty===
===Quick n Dirty===  
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 ~11-15 notes. [[http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/tuning/message/24|Dan Stearns]] has done this, and so has [[http://www.elvenminstrel.com/music/tuning/equal/13equal/13tet.htm|David Finnamore]]!

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? See [[http://www.sciencenews.org/articles/20060603/fob7.asp|this Science News article]].
