Calculate fret placement for guitar, bass, banjo, mandolin, dulcimer, and more in inches or metric. ↳   Lutes, Baroque and Renaissance Guitars, etc. See the page entitled Calculating Fret Positionson this site for more info on fret placement. I compensate 1mm at the treble and 1,5mm at the bass. Lay a drafting square against the edge of the rule and make a line from your mark. Correct bridge placement determines a guitar's intonation when playing fretted notes. If you just position it at the nominal scale length, it doesn't really allow enough to get the third and sixth strings properly compensated, particluarly if your saddle isn't very thick. On a 650mm scale, normal tension D'addario (my main string type) I add 0.5mm comp for the high E, and from there the saddle is slanted back 1mm at the low E, which means the bass starts with a 1.5mm compensation. by Alan Carruth » Thursday 03 December 2009, 20:41 pm, Post For the EB-guitars these numbers are 44 and 56 mm. From: UK, Welcome to one of the most active flamenco sites on the Internet. Is this guitar's bridge saddle in the right place? I'd go with Jame's advice. yup you should always compensate!

A question was raised by member Gilmour: where do you position a bridge?In response to this, your scale length is 24 inches (610 mm) from the middle of your zero fret to the bridge. On my guitar (650mm scale) the distance from nut to 12th fret is 325. From here I only need some minimal work on the saddle, if any. The scale length of an instrument is the distance between the edge of the nut and the nominal bridge saddle position. For fretless instruments the bridge is generally located at the nominal bridge position. by Silverbach » Thursday 03 December 2009, 13:46 pm, Post I position the bridge either in the middle of the end of the scale length to have adjustment equal both ways if I need to move the roller, or, I position it towards the front of the bridge so I can have more movement backwards. Yes, I am, I am automatically drawn to anything with an aura of 19th Century romanticism. That line is now perpendicular to the fingerboard. The thicker the string the more compensation you can use. Excellent, thank you both for the timely replies (and the photos). For me I would just double the figure and glue the bridge there (based on the edge of the saddle nearer to the sound hole/nut). For a classical guitar that distance varies between 40 to 45 mm at the 0-fret position and increases to about 57 mm above the bridge. For guitars and other fretted instruments the placement of the frets is based on the scale length. Our Fret Calculator also gives you compensated bridge placement -- only at stewmac.com! Luthiers, what's your method of finding the exact bridge position (and ensuring it's perpendicular to the fretboard)? The bridge on a BM guitar would be 12 inches (305 mm) from the 12th fret. I like to use 1.5 across the board. Post I would recommend adding 1mm to twice the distance to the 12th fret - and using this measurement for the front edge of the saddle (i.e. For me I would just double the figure and glue the bridge there (based on the edge of the saddle nearer to the sound hole/nut) Any compensation will be done on the saddle and nut itself. This should give you enough room to adjust on the saddle itself. ↳   How to Participate in the Delcamp Classical Guitar Forum, ↳   Archives of Public Space and its subforums, ↳   Use of nails in playing the classical guitar, ↳   Search for classical guitar sheet music, ↳   Ergonomics and Posture for Classical Guitarists, ↳   Classical guitar recording and amplification, ↳   Historical Background to Classical Guitar pieces, ↳   Archives of past "Classical Guitars for Sale", ↳   Guitar accessories and luthier supplies for sale, ↳   Advice on buying, selling or valuing a guitar. If the front edge of the saddle at the high E string is 'just right', then you're OK for the rest of the strings. by Alexandru Marian » Thursday 03 December 2009, 11:28 am, Post The way we do it is to clamp a rule to the center line of the fingerboard then set the bridge under it and mark the leading edge on the top. ↳   Classical Guitar Concerts, Competitions and Conventions, ↳   Your messages to the site administrator, ↳   Our recordings of Members' Compositions, ↳   Our recordings of Romantic and Modern music, ↳   Our recordings of Agustín Barrios Mangoré, ↳   Scores for classical guitar - D01, D02, D03, ↳   Scores for classical guitar - D04, D05, D06, ↳   Scores for classical guitar - D07, D08, D09, ↳   Scores for classical guitar - D10, D11, D12, ↳   First tests (Extracts of works in progress), http://www.byersguitars.com/Research/Research.html.

Placing the bridge too close to the neck shortens scale length and makes fretted notes sharp. http://news-from-the-workshop.blogspot.com/.

It's also likely to be good for the long haul: as one friend of mine points out, he's never seen a guitar get _longer_ with age. The distance between the guitar nut and bridge is the scale length. Moving the bridge too far from the neck increases scale length and creates flat fretted notes. Guests can read most posts but if you want to participate. The choice of these numbers has to be based on the playability of the guitar for the future owner. Also think about how thick the strings you prefer to use are. So I locate the bridge at the 650 mark 325 from the 12 th fret. by Alexandru Marian » Thursday 03 December 2009, 11:36 am, Post 657mm for your guitar).
