Notes on fret layout

The most accurate way to lay out your scale is making
all measurements from the nut (using the "fret to fret"
distance only to confirm your layout). Laying out frets
only by measuring fret to fret will compound error. For
example, if you're laying out frets by marking with a
scribe and your accuracy is plus or minus 2
millimeters, you could be off by as much as 24
millimeters at the 12th fret.
Measurements are given from the end of the
fingerboard (face of the nut) to the center of a fret slot.

Printable

Distance from the fretboard edge of the nut to the break-angle of the string at the peak of the
saddle.
Treble "E" 25.84 " (0.030")
Bass "E" 25.967 " (0.030")
Please note that these measurements are based on a mathmatical formula for compensation as
well as an average of what "plays in tune" for a variety of instruments. Variables such as string
height (action) and string gauge can affect the intonation of an instrument, so you may need to
slightly adjust the locations given.
