WHAT IS THE ISSUE?
Standard guitars use straight frets based on an old tuning compromise called “equal temperament”.
“While this system allows you to play in all keys, it is never perfectly in tune”.
Common problems with traditional fretted necks:
Chords can sound slightly out of tune, especially higher up the neck
Open chords may sound different from barre chords
Certain intervals (like major thirds) often sound sharp
Studio recordings can reveal small tuning inconsistencies
Even when the guitar is perfectly set up and tuned, the design of straight frets forces small tuning compromises across the fingerboard.
THE TRUE TEMPERAMENT SOLUTION
True Temperament replaces straight frets with precisely calculated curved frets.
Each fret is individually shaped to correct the natural tuning errors found in traditional fret placement. The result:
More accurate intonation across the entire neck
Chords sound more in tune
Better harmony between instruments in recordings
Improved consistency in all positions
Instead of compromising tuning everywhere, True Temperament corrects the problem at its source — the fret placement itself.
