What is guitar fretboard?
The fingerboard (also known as a fretboard on fretted instruments) is an important component of most stringed instruments. It is a thin, long strip of material, usually wood, that is laminated to the front of the neck of an instrument. The strings run over the fingerboard, between the nut and bridge.
What does the fretboard do on an electric guitar?
The fretboard is where you place your left hand (if using a right-handed guitar) and it is the mechanism where notes and chords are produced. Each note is separated by frets. Whereby, frets are thin metal bars that run at right angles to the strings.
