the fact is, if you got a song with an open E chord, open g chord, and a barred g chord, not only should you hope got a sweet axe, it better be setup like a dream, and then you can HOPE it will all be in tune - temperments aside (tuning wise ) when it comes down to it, if it sounds out, it's out -

especially in the studio, often your gonna have to tune for certain parts of the tune, based on where they're played - this has nothing to do with equal temperment - im talking by ear - i have a PRS, keep it intonated (i studied under a luthier for a year) and there' is just no doubt - obviously a world class tech can do a way better job then me - though till the person works on my guitar - i will MOST DEFINATLY tune my guitar to a chord if neccesary to be in tune with the music
