Title: Anyone use Buzz Feiten intonation?
Post by: Tol on October 05, 2005, 03:47:44 PM
Hey guys,

I searched the forum and saw little talk about this.  It was standard on my guitar.  Anyone use it?

It looks a lot like the Earvana compensated nut, I might give that a try at some point but I've never really noticed my intonation being that bad so haven't bothered just yet.

What happens when you want to bend on those wonky frets?

I'm not even sure what frets you mean!  Before that I didn't know what wonky meant!  :o  :?

Hehe, yeah, that is pretty weird, I think standard BF is pretty normal, it is to do with the spaceing of the frets and nut if I am remembering right...

The Buzz Feiten and Earvana systems compensate the tuning on the open strings so the guitar sounds better when you are on the frets.  The frets themselves don't change.  

Check out this article:

The guitar with the compensated frets uses the Novax system

I spend a lot of time on predominantly US forums, so it's nice to come on here and get some proper British slang \m/

Played with a bassist once who had perfect pitch, anything the slightest bit out used to drive him mad. Now he needed Buzz Feiten, Earvana, what have you. Me, my ears ain't that good (though I can spot someone singing marginally flat or sharp at 100 yards), a guitar that's properly set up with the intonation set doesn't bother me at all so I'm happy to do without the finesse.
