I thought violin players rolled their fingertip so as to actual change the operating length of string

I'd like to play and hear a guitar with a temperament more closely matched to specific pieces of music. Think of it like a keyboard player using a different temperament to play a specific piece written in 1600
My approach to guitars is that each one of them does not have to do everything and play every piece. I dedicate some to specific tunings, some are set up as baritone guitars in a way that means they cannot be used for general use (e.g. tuned to a much lower version of DADGAD), or my tenor guitar, tuned in fifths. I am planning to string a normal acoustic in fifths if possible
I have an underlying belief that, at least some of the time, the pieces I play on guitar should flow from the strengths of the specific instrument, the way it resonates and the strengths of the tuning used. I expect this to be different on each guitar if I remember to not buy duplicates without changing something
Seems to me like your flagrant dislike of psychoanalysts may being masking a deeper discontent, perhaps with the bread selections available in your local retail outlets.If you also consider that worn or sweat and dirt coated strings will also begin to be slightly out in regard to intonation, and you soon see that almost every note is compromised every time it's played.
That's not to say that we shouldn't strive for perfection, but I still feel that the true temperament neck is a solution that adds too many failings of its own in regard to maintenance and bending notes to be considered a success.
Regardless of that, like the Buzz Feiten tuning system, if it works for you and the cost to you is value for money then that's ok with me
ok, so you are saying that no guitar will ever be perfect - especially when played by a human, I agree. To be right, the 3rd needs to flatten 14 cents, so that would be a large pitch change
I'm looking for a different sound to equal temperament, and accept some different inaccuracies can occur (although I will use with an Evertune bridge, so less so in this case)
