2. Multi-scale fingerboard - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-scale_fingerboard

   Fanned-fret guitars have a multi-scale fingerboard because of "offset" frets; that is, frets that extend from the neck of the guitar at an angle. Ralph Novak (Novax Guitars) was the first to apply this idea to the electric guitar (1988). [2] The frets are arrayed on an angle, in contrast to the standard perpendicular arrangement of other guitars.

3. Neck-through-body construction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neck-through-body_construction

   Neck-through-body (commonly neck-thru or neck-through) is a method of electric guitar construction that combines the instrument's neck and core of its body into a single unit. This may be made of a solid piece of wood, or two or more laminated together. The strings, nut, fretboard, pickups and bridge are all mounted on this central core ...

   In fret dressing, a luthier levels and polishes the frets, and crowns (carefully rounds and shapes) the ends and edges. Stainless steel guitar frets may never need dressing, because of the density of the material. [2] Not having frets carefully and properly aligned with the fingerboard can cause severe intonation issues and constant detuning.

5. Fret - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fret

   Fat frets make bending easier, and they change the feel of the guitar. As well, large frets, offering more metal, remain playable much longer than thin frets. A side effect of a thicker fret is a less precise note, since the string is held over a wider surface, causing a slight inaccuracy of pitch, which increases in significance as frets wear. [2]

   The production version (v2, 2008–2011) featured a chambered mahogany body, maple top, set mahogany neck, 22-fret rosewood-bound (standard finishes) or white-bound (metallic finishes) ebony fingerboard with figured acrylic trapezoid inlays, white-bound headstock with MOP Gibson logo and flowerpot inlay (metallic finishes) or unbound headstock ...

7. Gibson SG - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gibson_SG

   The 24.75" scale mahogany neck joins the body at the 19th or 22nd fret. Early models had a smaller neck joint with a longer tenon. This neck design provided access above the 16th fret. Epiphone-made bolt-on neck models still use a 16th fret neck joint. [6] [note 1] The SG's set neck is shallower than the Gibson Les Paul's.
