It certainly holds true for positioning frets though. chances are the error at the saddles because you measured from the 12th fret isn't what your problem will be, so that's a problem in principle more than practice. Measuring the bridge position from the 12th fret means you're adding the error of the 12 fret position to the error in the bridge saddle position. The nut is the datum, everything is measured from there so you don't keep compounding errors. I measure the bridge position from the nut, not the 12th fret. Here’s how to find out what’s really going on.Ī couple comments, all in my humble opinion of course The fret positions might have been calculated using the old rule of 18. Like maybe the nut position was compensated, or just cut wrong. What’s the scale length? Isn’t it just twice the distance from the nut to the 12th fret? Yeah, kinda, but there can be a lot of complicating factors when working on old instruments.

Measuring Scale Length of Fretted Instruments You also, of course, need to assume (or measure) that the frets were cut and installed at exactly the location predicted by rule of 18 or 12th root of 2 or whatever you decide to use. It is interesting that some builders do this intentionally - maybe even shift the nut a little more towards the bridge to help tame inharmoniously. Yes you do measure to the center of the crown but it is also important to know where the saw kerf was on the nut - if the center line of the saw was at the exact zero fret location then the nut will be shifted towards the bridge by half the width (about 0.011).


Configuration is painless, while detailed statistics help you keep track of your audience.
