Practical Application: Fret Calculator Examples

If the scale length (x) is 25.5 inches and you want to find the distance to the first fret (y), the Fret Calculator will show y as approximately 1.431 inches. For the second fret, if x remains the same and the distance from the nut to the first fret is y, the second fret distance will be calculated and so on.

Example 2: For a shorter scale length, say 24 inches, the first fret distance would be approximately 1.348 inches, showcasing the tool's capacity to adapt to different guitar designs.
