BUYING OPTIONS & INFO

Hello ,

​

Thank you for reaching out and for your interest in our adjustable microtonal instruments!

​

On our online store, you can explore our wide range of catalog instruments, including electric, acoustic, classical, bass, and ukulele models.

​

Depending on your preferences, we offer several ways to help you get your microtonal guitar:

​​

  1. Catalog Model Guitars (Premium Quality): You can select one of our premium-quality standard guitar models directly from our online shop. You can choose from various colors and specifications available in our catalog.
     

  2. Custom Build Guitars: If you have specific personal preferences or unique ideas outside our standard store models, we can build a fully customized guitar tailored to your needs.
     

  3. Fretboard Replacement for Your Own Guitar: If you can bring or ship your existing guitar to our workshop in Istanbul, we can replace its fretboard with our adjustable microtonal system.
     

  4. Brand New Guitar Conversion Service: If you have a specific brand and model in mind, we can purchase a brand new guitar for you from local music stores in Turkey, perform the fretboard conversion, and ship the finished instrument to you. If you don't have a specific model in mind, we can share links to online music stores in Turkey so you can pick one out.
     

  5. Adjustable Microtonal Necks: We offer custom-made roasted maple necks equipped with locking tuner pegs for electric (Stratocaster & Telecaster compatible) and bass guitars (Jazz Bass compatible). You can easily bolt this neck onto your current guitar with minor adjustments. (Please note: You may need a local luthier's assistance to adjust the nut height).
     

  6. Adjustable Microtonal Fretboard Only: You can purchase an adjustable fretboard from us and have your local luthier perform the replacement on your guitar. Custom fretboard dimensions and specs are also available upon request.
     

  7. Fixed-Fret Microtonal Options: Upon request, we can also build fixed-fret guitars, necks, or fretboards in any tuning system of your choice (e.g., 12-EDO, 19-EDO, 24-EDO, 31-EDO, KGLW, etc.).
     

Please let us know which option works best for you, and we will be happy to discuss the exact details and overall costs. You can reach us directly at info@microtonalguitar.org or through our website's online chat

📦 What Comes Included?

​

When you purchase a full guitar, a neck, or a fretboard system, it comes with a complete set of accessories:

​

  • A main fret set pre-installed on the fretboard (removable and reattachable as desired)

  • A fretbox containing:
     

    • 40 extra small fretlets (in 4 different sizes)
       

    • 10 long fretlets covering 3 strings
       

    • 10 fretless blocks
       

    • Special tweezers for inserting and removing fretlets
       

    • 2 fret tuners to easily glide and adjust frets along the fretboard channels

🎼​ Main Fret Systems Overview
 

Our adjustable microtonal fretboards support two types of main fret systems, both usable on our standard fretboard/neck/guitars:
 

  • Small Fretlets Set: Individual small fretlets sit under each string and can be moved independently to any position along the fretboard, allowing you to achieve any microtonal tuning or scale imaginable without restrictions. Each fret is marked with a number indicating its fret and string position. (See image below)

  • ​​ Long Main Fret Set: These frets cover all 6 strings and can be inserted or removed. Their locations are determined by a number on each fret indicating its fret number, combined with markers drawn on the fretboard for each EDO tuning system (such as 12-EDO, 19-EDO, 24-EDO, or 31-EDO). Each long fret set is sold separately and includes a pair of special pliers. (See image  below)

(Note: Both main fret systems are fully compatible on our standard fretboards. For custom fretboards, custom long fret sets require an additional charge.)
