There isn't really a hack, the printout you see is from v3 which is still in beta. There is code is v2 which does the printing but there's no UI element to activate it, I abandoned it at the time and (because) it's nowhere near as refined as it is in v3 and did not feature the head design tool anyway. Thanks for being a user, the update is hopefully around a month away, I'm working hard at it.<br />

WFret is not useless, please don't misunderstand me, I just think the printouts are hard to follow…

WFret is not useless, please don't misunderstand me, I just think the printouts are hard to follow with no dot markers etc plus a lot of guys have had trouble getting it to work for various reasons, I was just offering up something painless for the fella. I'm working on something that is truly 'plug and play' and does a lot more than just fret slots. But I'm not claiming to have met any D's who were prepared to part with their B's. :)<br />
Anywho... There's a template, enjoy.

<p> Ok so how can you say Wfret is useless and yours is the D's B's if us mere mortals can't make use of it ? :(</p>

Mate probly half my videos are that scale length. It's just a wee bit shorter, like a fender capoed to fret two or so. I tune em up to G mostly so the tension is a wee bit more than on a guitar, I use .011 sets mostly<br />

There's more than you can probly be bothered watching right there, those ones are def all 600mm (23 5/8")<br />

<p>It's not 100% finished (still need something for strap posts and a latch to keep the box shut, and I need to angle my bridge a bit to help the none wound string on the bottom), but for the most part she's not bad at all.<br/><br/>I haven't done extensive testing, but harmonics are spot on and the frets appear to be extremely close as well. I will have to play around a bit to determine how bad and where, but it would seem measuring from the middle of the nut (bolt) did the trick. <br/><br/>I guess it really is often the little things that make the difference that all the research in the world doesn't tell you. Thanks for all your help. <br/><br/>Hey Phrygian, I glanced around, but didn't see any. Do you have any vids on how that scale sounds. That length shorter than either of the two I tried. The first one was close to a Gibson's scale length of 24.75", and this last one was a 25" scale (similar to a Paul Reed Smith). Yours appears to be 23.6". I know it's a stick in a box (as I have been told at least twice by ChickenBone John), but how much does the scale length affect the sound on these things?<br/><br/>Maybe this should be put into a different discussion. Bottom line, I appreciate everyone's advice, encouragement, and direction. :-)</p> wfret is rubbish
