Hey all, for those of you not familiar, I wanted to introduce you to the True Temperament Fretting System. I first found out or heard about this through Steve Vai. Now understand something, people approach Mr vai with all kinds of crazy ideas every year, and most he shoots down, because they are just that, CRAZY! This is something that Vai believed in so much, Ive heard he is transforming all his necks.
The concept is simple, the point of the system is for super-accurate intonation over the whole fretboard. Its a curved fret system that fine tune the intonation of every single note on the neck. The curved frets play like straight frets, so there is no need to modify your playing. Also chords ring out louder and longer. Simply put, the frets have been shaped so that every single note on every single fret on every string is in perfect tune, meaning that all those minor errors you have on a regular guitar neck are gone. I know what your thinking, "I have a Les Paul, there is nothing wrong with this guitar, I payed 5 grand for it" well, take out a tuner, fine tune, now hit the same E in 3 places, if you have a good tuner, you WILL see a minor difference, this system eliminates this totally.
Here is a link to the site, plenty of video, and explanations there, so go check it out, and give us all your feedback! Keep Rockin
