I have exactly the same question -- I live near Boston and need to
have an acoustic guitar refretted into the "shrutar" scale Dave and I
came up with. I hope to have some music samples up soon so you can
hear the kind of stuff I plan to do with it, albeit in 12-equal :(

Let me know, too, just for my records, I have not gone any further yet in
getting any guitars refretted, but still on my list of things to do.

What I did (in LA) was to just go to all the best luthier/repair people I could find, and ask them if if they would do it. The guy who did mine (John Carruthers) had a CNC fret-slotting saw for cranking out bolt-on necks. He also had a 'copying lathe' and all kinds of different neck templates, so he gave me a new neck in the shape I liked best with the tuning I specified for the same price as a good re-fret--no partial or bent frets, though. So, that's for a Strat or Tele style...What about custom ordering just a neck from Music Man?

Of the luthiers I spoke to, only a rabid experimentalist like Rick Turner expressed any interest (to me), and he asked me to bring him a guitar without a fingerboard, which he said he would be happy to provide in whatever tuning I desired. (But I promised not to ask for partial frets there too, I think!) I was going to order a new guitar from Taylor, and specify 'w/o fingerboard', but it fell through (the gig with the the endorsement deal, that is).

Rod Poole's experience would be good to find out, too, as would John Schneider's...

Cheers!

There should be a couple of examples here now:

http://www.soundclick.com/bands/3/paulerlichacousticmusic.htm

Unfortunately soundclick truncates to about 10 minutes, so you can't
hear how I brought these improvs home at the end. Anyway, can't wait
to make microtonal stuff like this!

A bit further off will be microtonal stuff like this, which a few of
you have heard already:

http://www.soundclick.com/bands/5/stretchmusic.htm

I already have microtonal electric guitars and bass; need microtonal
saxophone . . .

Sorry for the shameless 12-equal self-promotion!

***It's great to see all this stuff up on SoundClick. Unfortunately,
though, it says the pieces haven't been "cleared" yet... Maybe it's
because the sites are so new... (??)
