Fanned fretboard template6/14/2023 I'm not convinced that Novak or Dingwall necessarily put the neutral frets in the best locations. IMO there's quite a bit to be gained from changing the bridge/headstock anchor points, to move the "neutral" point on the fretboard to a higher or lower fret. But as you move up the registers, the position of the "neutral" fret (the vertical, non-slanted one) becomes cricital in these types of applications. ![]() It also makes the long scales easier to play for someone with smaller hands - you only have to fight with the long scale with the really low notes, and the problem goes away as you move to the higher strings. ![]() It really makes sense on instruments like 6-string basses, where you really need a longer scale to get a low B that doesn't sound flabby. I like the idea of the different length scales on the different strings.
