advantages of this arrangement include:

*The guitar can be tuned using a standard tuner
*Chords and scales similar to familiar ones will be fingered in a
familiar way
*All pitches are in the popular 72-tET tuning
*Any chord or scale can be fingered anywhere on the neck
*Chords include:
18 different 1:3:5:7 chords, max. error 3¢
18 different 1/(1:3:5:7) chords, max. error 3¢
12 different 1:3:5:7:9 chords, max. error 4¢
12 different 1/(1:3:5:7:9) chords, max. error 4¢
9 different 1:3:5:7:9:11 chords, max. error 4¢
9 different 1/(1:3:5:7:9:11) chords, max. error 4¢
