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?

Aren't you thinking of the Frank Gambale signature Yamaha?

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...

I was sure it was the wiggly fret one.

Ah well.

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/

I'm totally lost on the slang! Is bums good? Sounded bad to me at first =).

Petersons Strobosoft was some sweeter tunings, makes you sound more in tune....
