Tuning a guitar using and Equal Temperament method

[Phil Bondi]

The one thing I have noticed with guitar tuning is the importance of the 
condition of the frets, nut, and bridge adjustments(if any).

Using the SATll to help a guitar player set his intonation, I noticed 
the 12th fret 'taking off' when the open string was dead-on. I asked 
about the frets, and he said that they were due to be changed. A couple 
of months later when he had new frets and a nut, we made some small 
changes from where it was set from the repair person..very slightly 
sharp starting at the 12th fret when fretted. He thought that would be 
'out of tune', and I suggested that he try it and see.

He loves it.

Now..that being said, the guitar players on this list will, I'm sure, 
guide me towards better intonation for the instrument. That has been my 
experience to this point.
