Kenny Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 Alright this is what im doing im attempting to mark out even gap spacing between my strings (compensating for string guage) on this fretboard. but i dont know how to really go about it one idea is add the string guages together, add the spacing frrom edge of the fretboards and divide by 7. but im not sure and i thought before i blew off and hour or 2 doing calculations that i would come to you guys for advice, suggestions also ehre are some random specs if someone wants to get into specifics String guages from thin to thick in mm .2286 .2794 .4064 .6096 .8128 1.0668 1.3208 width at the horizontal equivilent of my nut - 48.72mm spacing to edge of fretboard - 3.5mm any ideas?

Mattia Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 String up, space by eye, check measurements with caliper, mark, cut. Or get one of those StewMac nut spacing doodads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bizzar_Guitars Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 Hey Kenny This is what I use. Nut slot spacing calculator Although it is for 6 strings. It will give you a base line to work from. Ciao, Garth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
