What temperament is a guitar tuned? (encore)

Rather than getting into another skermish, I would like to see
other's figures on tuning guitar strings with an ETD (not really).
And let it go.

Bill supplied one set. If someone has a different opinion then
please supply your own set of figures.  And let it go at that.

Shouldn't this question be answered by a professional
guitar player rather than a profesional piano tuner?
Check the newsgroups.

Not playing the instrument myself but have seen one or two,
I would venture to say that a tuning could be adjusted to
compliment any melody since the tuning procedure is just
a simole turn of the machine.  (simole = .25 Newtons)

Since the tuning is optimal in the key signature being played,
wouldn't it be Mean Tone ?

Why don't we get into the best way to tune a car?
