Charles,
No zero fret.
The measurements of .045 at first to .268 at 22 are not fret differences, but the increase in the differences between the "Tundra...." fret slot chart and the Stew-mac chart. |

I used the WFret calculator and it gave distances almost exactly what you measured your May Bell at.

I was trying to find that program!
How did you get it?? I was trying to get the template to lay over the 24" scale guitars I have to check their accuracy. I spent an hour looking for it yesterday, and stopped when a couple dissenters wrote that the measures Wfret gives could be off by as much as 1/4" depending on how your printer is set up. But I'd love to get a copy of it for future use, since the printer can be calibrated to give the exact figures. Wfret's and Stew-Mac's numbers, then, don't agree for a 24" scale. Hmmmm.....

This link will download the wfret zip file. http://api.ning.com/files/cyeJKQVrcV...O8V1/wfret.zip BTW FWIW Stewmac & wfret numbers match (at 24"), but Stewmac are accurate to 3 decimal points. wfret measurements are accurate to 2. kev

I had to print several copies off to the get the scaling for my printer right, I have it some where but it was like 97.5%. Yours almost assuredly will be different.

The theory is simple, as is the math. Calculate your own fret positions, rather than second guess what is going on in "black box" on-line fret calculators.
In the amount of time folks have spent finding and comparing "black-box" results, you could have calculated your own. If you like, put it in an Excel spreadsheet and calculate whatever scale you want instantly. |

Bugeyed and Charles,
That's what I did, measured the fret slots' distance from the nut and these were the results:
2nd fret, from the nut: May Bell Fretboard: 66.32 mm 3rd fret """ 97.021 mm 5th 152.966 mm Either all three of my measuring devices are slightly off, or the guitar has lengthened and shortened in various wood grains over the last 60 years or there is an aluminum cap on my head being fooled with by aliens. |
