Wiki pages on equal temperament and just intonation .. equal temperament was first popularized in the West by Bach IIRC.
FWIW I played a Feitenized strat in a shop a few months back .. it had exactly the same in tune/out of tune issues as a standard guitar as far as I could tell, although maybe it just wasn't adjusted properly in some way.
has anyone buzz feitenized their offset?

Re: has anyone buzz feitenized their offset?
it could have been that the in-store tech guy gave it a setup, setting the intonation the traditional way, and thus removing the Feiten system...
I'm not terribly fussy about intonation, and I've got a pretty good ear in terms of pitch.

Re: has anyone buzz feitenized their offset?
You are so right on this one. I"m primarily a bass player so I tend to be heavy handed. It is really tough for me to play a guitar with 9s or 10s without pressing the strings out of tune. Of course, the problem is compounded if the nut is too high.Pumpkin wrote: 3.Pressure in relation to chords is a big deal and you need to find the sweet spot for this to work.I get perfect chords all over the neck from nut to 22.

I actually find the Buzz Feiten system a bit confusing a perhaps a bit complicated. The compensated nut like the earvana seems to me a more straightforward solution to the problem, which for me at least is mostly in the open chord positions. You know, the G sounds fine on an E chord but flat on a G, the B is fine on an E and sharp on a D.JazzBlaster wrote: ...a compinsated nut may help https://www.earvana.com/index.html
