duncann Posted April 26, 2016 Author Share Posted April 26, 2016 Yep thats it. I wonder how a guitar that combines this with the compensated nut would fair... Ha. Good question. Seems like it would be redundant to the point of the methods interfering with each other. So I guess it would come down to which method works better? Certainly the curved frets would be more expensive since you'd need an entirely new neck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guitarmaniac64 Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Here is a video that I forgot I had in my email that explains the compensated nut further. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYTi8Kl6oVs&feature=youtu.be Or if you wanna go all the way order a TT neck from my old friend Anders he makes them with locking nuts if you ask for it http://www.truetemperament.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like an interesting option, expensive too. It's missing a couple of frets, unless they do more customized work for that and neck profiles. It'd be hard to buy something like this without it being local. Although looking at the artist list, maybe not. Besides, I just had my guitar refretted with stainless-steel frets (flawless work done by Denny Rauen). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Vai use them in the studio nowadays even live i have seen him use them The fact that they dont make them in factory (i think they are only two or three people who make the necks) is maybe why so many dont use them.. people still dont believe it is working just because of the look of the frets people also believe that they cant bend with those frets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HonestOpinion Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 If these really do correct intonation problems all over the neck and contribute to sustain as much as people claim, I hope these necks become a lot more common and affordable. I will definitely be all over one of these when they get less expensive. Seems like they are really onto something critical to the evolution of the guitar here.

Oh they do just look at those videos especially Mattias IA Eklunds And its nothing new as Anders started to made those frets in early 1990,s however they where quite different then His first one i belive have 24 strait frets up to the normal 12 frets a.k.a he simply just put a fret between the regular frets i know that Vai tried a similar one in the late 80,s There are some guitar companys that have TT frets But hey are bloody hard to find the only one i can dig out is. VGS http://www.vgs-guitars.com/vgs_truetemperament.html?&L=1 Anders also have made several necks with different temperents like meantone And people still experimenting Guitar making comapnys can of course contact TT but my guess is they sort of loose their identity but i think the biggest issue is that tyhey have to PAY TT-Frets for every guitar they sell.. http://www.truetemperament.com/licensing/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Presonid Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Pod HD vs Helix raw sound, same settings (main amps). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncann Posted May 1, 2016 Author Share Posted May 1, 2016 Pod HD vs Helix raw sound, same settings (main amps). Pretty straight-forward comparison. Helix sounded a bit more rounded and rich. The one with the chorus and spring reverb was quite a bit different, I would assume because of the effects, mostly the chorus. For choruses, there really is no comparison. Helix is by far better in that category. By the way, great work on the real-modeled amp compilation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
