95% of the time I refer to it as a fingerboard, as well. Perhaps this means I'm screwed up too?? I'll try not to fret over the issue.

Of course a fret board is a finger board. What are you holding your strings down with? your nose?. That said, not every finger board is a fret board.

I'm struggling to see why it matters what fret is the same width as the width of the strings at the saddle??
Maybe it should be called a 'fretinger board' |

Thanks Charles (and Ned) , for taking the ribbing in good part.
I don't get all anal about it, I assure you, but IMHO (and it is only my opinion) "fingerboards" belong on violins, violas, cellos and double basses. Viols, guitars, mandolins, ukuleles and banjos .... these guys have "fretboards" ... You need to go back and read Larry Pattis' post above ... |

Boy what a neat discussion. I don't understand all of it but for me it is interesting reading.
My question would be is it OK to slot the E strings on the saddle in order to spread the 2 strings somewhat. I have : Martin outside string measurement E to E spread at the saddle of 2.250. Yamaha outside string measurement E to E spread at the saddle of 2.100. Can I spread the Yamaha E to E to a 2.250 by notching the saddle? Last edited by djh1765; 11-24-2013 at 12:56 PM. |
