Hi all. I have an interesting scenario.
I've a new fretboard on a LP Jnr, and I have cut the frets to the StewMac calculator numbers. The board has been glued on and and fretted.
Total scale measures out good at 628mm from nut front to saddles. The calc gives a 12th fret measurement (from front of nut) of 314mm.
Set it up, and every fretted note tunes sharp. Grab another LP I have beside me and measure to the 12th. I get 311mm. Grab an Explorer...also 311mm.
What's happened here? Are the online calc, which all give the same numbers, wrong?
Right now I staring down the barrel of a full fret removal, fill the slots, shift the inlays, recut slots different lengths and try and hide it all. In other words, I'm screwed.
Any help, advice, whatever appreciated.
