Scale length

Posted by Matt scott on March 19, 2013 at 5:44pm in Performances, How to Play, Lessons, Concerts
I seemed to have come up a little short on my neck. I wanted a 23" scale. I will have to settle with 21". Is it just a matter of going to the fret calculator and punch in 20" for my fret positions? It will be fretless but I still need the markers. Or do i need to make a new one?Thanks in advance

    If it's fretless just measure from neck edge of nut to bridge, insert that number into fret calculator to get your positions and make your marks.
