Uke fret measurements

Posted on January 2, 2010 at 12:37pm 3 Comments 0 Likes

I am making a cigar box uke for my son. It has @ 10" neck but I am having trouble finding measurments for the fretting. The free plans on this website don't go into detail here so I was curious if I am missing something or if anybody can throw me a rope?
