Hi, my name is Jack. 

I am interested in converting an old strat to 19 TET. 

[Mat]

Hi jackastro, you doing that DIY?

Thanks.

Yes.  I have put together two custom guitars and modded lots of others.  I have never done a refret though, so this should be challenging.  Any advise on where to start?

[Mat]

Refretting tools, internet research and a cheap secondhand guitar to practice on :)
One tip: buy a radius sanding block that matches the guitar, they can be clamped down on the new frets to help level them, and clamped onto the defretted neck as a guide for your fret slot saw.

Hi everyone, my name is Ivan. I play the 24-TET guitar modified by skillful Russian guitar builder Aleksandr Luchko.

Hi everyone
I am Noah Jordan from Vancouver BC, I play in a group called Redrick Sultan, we have done a tiny bit of micro stuff in the past (a 13tet interlude in a piece, and a couple songs on fretless guitar), and we have recently released our first track fully in 22edo (https://soundcloud.com/redrick-sultan/recurring-mimosa) and are recording an album featuring 15, 19 and 22 edos.

Hi Noah, i heard this track when you posted at the FB XAII, good stuff. You now have full forum permissions.

greetings fellow microtonalists,
  My name is Matt and I've been into microtonal music for about 25 years.I started defretting and refretting guitars twenty years ago, when I could no longer endure the 400 cent 'major third'. I have been on the just intonation/harmonic/mathematics trip for about fifteen years. I've built a few functional microtonal acoustic guitars over the last few years.Lately I am playing with an idea that I call 'hybrid tuning', using tempered fretwork to play justly intonated music. My 'number one' guitar is an eight string Schecter that I have refretted in a tempered array based on 53edo, but which I use to play music in 19 limit just intonation. I am very happy to have found this forum. I am sorry about the delay in making this introduction.

Hi, and no problem, you now have full forum permissions.
I would like to see a photo of your 8 string sometime :)

[M.Autry]

I have never taken part in a forum such as this, but once I figure out how to, I will post a photo of the 8 string. I spent most of Sunday putting a Kahler tremolo unit on it. This is first guitar I have owned with a functional whammy bar.
