Fretboard width

Recommended Posts

Could someone please verify that the fretboard width at the 23rd fret should be about 2.25" for a 25.5" scale neck? The string span at the nut is whatever the R4 locking nut span is (I can measure if you need it). The bridge span is 2 3/32. Assume 1/8" spacing for each side. I think this is all standard stuff, I just need some else to verify this before I go much further.

Thank you very much - Dave

B) Ahh! On a different subject, I find inches so confusing! So if at all possible could any who can post in both inches and milimeters, this would help every one I think! :D

THanks Rob

BTW scale lenghts are fine!(arkward I know)

If you have a strat lying around, the spacing will probably be the same - otherwise, I'll try to measure it this afternoon.

I have the formula from one of my books but I was hoping someone would be able to measure a guitar with a 1 11/16 nut just to be sure. I'm working on a template for building future necks so it would be a real bummer to get it wrong at this point.

Thanks,

Dave
