K'tele 11-Limit Guitar

I built the K'tele from parts in classic Tele style, except the frets which are 2.3.7.11-Limit.

Scroll down to see two examples of Fret-Maps in two different tunings.

The Fret-Map below shows one of the most common tunings I use with the K'tele.  There are many unisons between strings II and III which are a 12:11 apart.

The Fret-Map below shows another tuning I use with the K'tele.  This is an example of a map for a specific song (Septangle), showing only the 12 used pitches on the strings and frets where they occur.  The colors show the different sets of pitch classes related by 3:2's (like columns or rows in a JI lattice.  This tuning features the septimal superparticular commas:  28:27 between certain blue/purple and green/blue,  49:48 between certain green/purple, and 64:63 between certain blue/green.
