"perfectly"...Invariably, when you have it tuned so an open G chord
sounds spot on, an open A or even C will be a tad off. And the same
applies to the inverse of course. This all due to a general lack of
adjustment for intonation on acoustic axes. But to the untuned ear
(which I agree in sort...should be the final judge of how your axe is
"tuned" ) this is not really noticeble.
Feiten tuned guitars are much better, unfortunately the method is
patented.

Great. I didn't know that technique.(I googled it). If it weren't so
expensive I'd give it a try... Maybe when I get a decent job...
By the way, I found this forum
if you are lost about what is feiten tuning as I was you may take a look
at them

"After like 50 years of electric guitar and centuries of acoustic
guitars, I would say that most of us have grown used to that slight "out
