Original Wikitext content:
=Microtonal guitar resources= 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=== John Starrett FAQ on do-it-yourself fretting - [[http://infohost.nmt.edu/%7Ejstarret/guitar.html|http://infohost.nmt.edu/%7Ejstarret/guitar.html]] Buzz Kimball on the same - http://www.nonoctave.com/heroes/buzz/retrofretting.html ===Get a new neck!=== John Carruthers - http://www.carruthersguitars.com/ ===Interchangeable Fretboards=== Mark Rankin makes magnetic interchangeable fretboards: [[mailto:Mark%20Rankin%[email protected]|Mark Rankin [email protected]]] (remove spaces) ===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=== 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]]! ===[[http://www.tritare.com|The Tritare]]=== 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.
