The standard EADGBE tuning of a guitar has the 80/81 comma staring the tuner in the face. If you tune all the fourths pure and make the E's a pure two octaves, then the GB major third sounds pretty wretched, sure a long way from 5/4! I guess it's a pythagorean major third though, is that right? Anyway I make my fourths all a little off to improve the major third. I try to get the E-E double octave right though!
