Unless of course, they are tone deaf. When you say perfect, I assume you mean perfect as in "It's the nicest sounding interval" vs the musical perfect 5th interval? One is subject to musical preference and one is theory/science. Quote:
My 2 cents. (is it audible?)

Y'all really need to check out and research "nut compensation".
Unfortunately, the definitive online article which explained nut compensation better than anywhere else, which was posted on the MIMF by Stephen Delft back in 1998, appears to be no longer accessible, more's the pity. Nonetheless, it's worth getting your head around the concept ... |

To add to the equally tempered scale... here's a "true tempered" guitar neck.

Like Larry J said "tune and tweak."
I use a tuner to get my guitar to the tweak stage, which is done by ear. I usually tune my high E a bit flat to compensate D shaped chords.

the simple thing I've never been able to get with the various versions of altering
a 12 even semitone scale or fretboard is .. eg. what you do to make an open E chord sound better must make an open A or G sound that much worse - and the same for open D or C - which all have their upsetting intervals (most often maj and min 3rds or 6ths) on different pairs of strings. Is there something I'm not seeing??? |

1. I NEVER tune-down a string,,,, always tune up, and after "you're there", give the string a solid tug, then re-tune it. 2. When you tune a string to perfection, and you move on to tension the next strings, they will have an impact on the tuning of the first string you did, etc. Once I get them "close", I go back and re-tune. 3. I like tuning strings in harmony to each other. For example; I'll pluck the 1st and 6th string simultaneously, then while keeping the 6th string open, I'll pluck it simultaneously to the 1st string, but on the 5th fret,,, then the 7th,,, then the 10th,12th, etc. Then I'll reverse it by plucking the 1st string "open", with all the same notes I mentioned for the 6th string. Then I'll alternate with different pairings of strings. |

I find that sometimes my guitars sound "off" no mater how I tune them, and at other times they sound fine. I think it's more of my frame of mind than the instruments . . . or maybe how hard I'm fretting the strings on a bad stress day.
