I just cut the strips out then angle cut the ends of one side so I can line up the overlapping fret lines and then tape the strips together.<br />
<br />
Working on moving beyond the StewMac miter box for cutting the slots to a custom sled on Harbor Freight's 4" Mighty Mite table saw! It should be more versatile technique.

<p>Question on use.</p>
<p>I just installed Wfret on a laptop with Windows 10. No printer connected at the moment so I print as pdf file then can carry the laptop to a printer later.</p>
<p>The PDF file basically looked like two lengths of fretboard laid side by side.</p>
<p>Obviously, most fretboards will be longer than letter-size 8.5"x11" (or metric A4?) paper, so this is probably normal...</p>
<p>Just cut the sections out and line them in-line?</p>
<p>Thank you</p>

<p>This is excellent! Thanks for sharing. I built one fretless cigar box guitar and was looking into what I need for the next build to be a fretted model.</p>

<p>Greg, just pick a big number like 22 or 23 and print it out. Mark the frets up until you run out of fretboard.</p>

<p>I am new to fretting and guitar building that said i have a 3 string guitar with a fret board 17" in length and i assume the scale length is the distance from the nut to the bridge so if i am right so far and this software asks how many frets what is the answer?</p>

<p>I've used this before but never tried to enter a fractional scale length that is not on the preloaded list. I am trying to enter 12 7/8 (It's a long story) but I keep getting an error message saying the scale length is 0. Any suggestions?</p>
