In this video I show you how to mark off a multi scale (or fan fret) fretboard. I actually think these are easier to mark off than standard frets!
I also show how to radius a fretboard with a hand plane, instead of a sanding block. Using a plane is much quicker than sanding and also allows us to create a compound radius, where we have a different curve at the nut than we do at the heel.
This is not my entry into this years Great Guitar Build Off 2022, that will happen after this custom build is finished!

I agree with you, multiscale fretting seems easier than parallel fretting when you don't have a pull saw !

@@KingBespokeCreations Ok I get ya so fairly expensive phone. Robb (my brother) said I needed to upgrade my phone. I don't trust myself with them tho. I'm always dropping them and smashing the screens 🤣 Only had this one for two weeks and guess what happened in the workshop last week? ............So never balance your phone on a piece of ply on a piece of ply on a workbench and then remove bottom piece of ply. 🤣

I was thinking of getting a square section aluminium tube, and creating a 34/35/36/37 inch fret ruler on each face. That way I will have the settings for any bass I'm likely to build. What do you think?

@KingBespokeCreations 2 жыл бұрын

Sounds like a plan. It would need to have very squared edges, so there would be no gap between the ruler and board. Better accuracy.

@malcolmgray1227 2 жыл бұрын

Did you sand it after you planted it? If not that's pretty good going on the plane to get rid of any flat part.

Hi, I guess this is a stupid question, but what is the reason for a multi scale bass/guitar🤔

@KingBespokeCreations 26 күн бұрын

There are many reasons some people like them. A lot will say the different string lengths will tune better, thicker strings want to be longer. Others really like the ergonomics of playing one, less wrist twisting. Others just think they look cool!
