| | Ruokangas VSOP: featuring the True Temperment Tuning System Ruokangas Guitars and DestroyAllGuitars have teemed up to introduce a line of guitars featuring the new True Temperament Tuning System. We are initially offering two stunning V.S.O.P. models outfitted with the True Temperament Curved Fret Option. This is a new, revolutionary approach to the design of the guitar fretboard. True Temperament Curved Frets are tuned piano style - one note at a time. Curved Frets play just like standard frets. Bending is not affected. You can see more info on the True Temperament website www.truetemperament.com.
