    it is not hard to calculate for yourself, the bridge to fret ratio between two consecutive frets is the 12th root of 2  \sqrt[12]{2}

    It's Easy enough to do in Excel.  as an example, for a scale of 24, the Nut (fret 0), fret 1, fret 2, fret 3 can be found with this typed into excel :

    =24/((2^(1/12))^0)

    =24/((2^(1/12))^1)

    =24/((2^(1/12))^2)

    =24/((2^(1/12))^3)

    I use the Wfret program for my PC. You just enter the scale length you want and how many frets. It will print out a chart or a template for you. You just cut out the template and tape it to the neck and mark the fret locations.

    You can get it here:

    The link for it is about half way down the page.

    Is there advantage to the Fret Chart, verses just going to one of the free fret calculaters on the internet?

    hey I cant find this chart where did you find it

    If you do alot of different scale lengths like I do, the best fret template you could get yourself is the fretting chart from Muscmakers.com . I have turned this chart on to alot of the members here. You won`t be sorry if you have this, it`s so easy. It`s a paper chart that unfolds to about 2 foot by 2 foot and has scale lengths from 13" to 31". All the lines are there for guitar,bass,mandolin,banjo,dulcimer. You just lay your fret board along a the scale length you want to use and copy the fret marks on to your fret board. Or you can do like I do and copy the fret marks on thin sticks so you have them ready to use anytime. I have had mine for over 20 yeatrs now and I`m glad I have it, you won`t be sorry you have it either.
