Edit: I was wrong below.

Hi! I am not a musician. Did you mean that true temperament guitars are the ones with squiggly frets, instead?

My understanding was that true temperament [0] is not the same as equal temperament [1]. I also believe that both pianos and guitars are typically tuned to equal temperament [2], but you may well be right about guitars.

Maybe somebody can shed some more light on this. Thanks!
