About the Buzz Feiten Tuning System
Inspired by the genius of piano tuning, the Buzz Feiten Tuning System is a revolutionary intonation model that intonates each string not only to itself, but also to every other string. Furthermore, to eliminate sharpness in the first three frets, the nut is moved a prescribed distance closer to the bridge. The result - play any note, any chord, anywhere on the neck and you'll be in tune.

A growing family of quality manufacturers have implemented this System on new electric and acoustic guitars, basses and more - with a wide range of models and prices. And, there's even a Feiten-tweaked tuner - the super-accurate, easy to use, Korg DT-7 with Buzz Feiten Tuning System Offsets.

Ranging from leading manufacturers like Washburn and Garrison, to renowned custom lines like Tom Anderson, as well as custom luthiers like Suhr, Baker, McPherson and Galloup. You can even get the system on great basses from MTD, tap instruments from Warr and Mobius, and Red Diamond Mandolins.
