String theory on a Sunday morning. Good job I had an extra hour of sleep. Thanks for posting that lot, it's a good explanation of the compromise involving many different factors.

I notice my Digly dog special
Has an angled bridge and works very well.
So you must have some understanding of this already
I thought I had knocked it out of skew!;>)

This is all making my head hurt ! 

I have always used wfret.com.

It's all PFM anyway. That's why early blues were mostly played with slide. Easy to compensate for minor variations of pitch.

Hang in there Bug, as soon as you find the perfect set up, the next one will be slightly different anyway and they all will probably change with temperature and humidity.

Not trying to rain on your parade, I just feel that the minor imperfections are what make these silly boxes so much fun.

Yeh I agree
I can assure you non of mine are dead on
But I like the theory
It still fascinated me you can put the same strings
And tuners on and they all sound different.
But don't worry I wont stop messing ...

Ok, I have got the scales, but how do you compensate for string angle?

 

ACME String Angle Compensator? Check with the Coyote.

 

Huston we have a problem........???

Go to Fretfind2d if you have a mac and then just print it out=no math, no measuring=happy me!
