Abstract

A fretboard (6) for a guitar or similar stringed musical instrument has fixed standard right angle frets (10) on the face of the instrument's neck (7). The invention resides in a measured deviation (13 & 16) in the fret at specific fret/string intersections. This is for the purpose of improving the tuning accuracy of the instrument.
