Standard acoustic guitars tend to have a nut width of between 1.61 inches and 1.75 inches. The most common nut width is about 1.73 inches. ... Wide neck guitars have a nut width of between 1.8 inches and 1.85 inches. These are becoming increasingly popular and tend to be favored by people with longer or larger fingers.
How do you measure a fretboard width?
Using the calipers, measure the width of the fingerboard right in front of the nut. Depending on your guitar, you should get numbers from 1.625 up to 1.750 inches.
How do you calculate fret spacing?
Divide any scale's open string length by 17.817, and the result is the distance from the front edge of the nut to the first fret. For several centuries, this number was rounded to 18 and referred to as the “rule of 18.” For example, a typical guitar scale length (Fender Telecaster) is 25.5 inches (648 mm).
How do you calculate frets?
The FRET efficiency can be calculated by subtracting the donor intensity in the presence of the acceptor from its intensity after photobleaching the acceptor, and then normalizing this value to the donor intensity after bleaching.
