Comparative guitar meantone power chords.

I only have LT and 12edo fretted guitars here; so playing any fretted chords will give only LucyTuned or 12 edo chords.
(assuming that I tune the open strings to LT or 12 edo notes)

To compare with 1/4 comma meantone or any other tuning, you could use any guitar regardless of the fretting; with the open strings 1/4 comma tuned or whatever;
play a chord with all the strings open or with any straight fret capo'ed.

When I get instructions from monz, on what he wants; I'll find and assemble all the boxes and gizmos that I need, tune up some guitars and record the LT results.
