    [7] [8] The guitar featured frets that measured 0.110" wide by 0.055" when new, similar to Dunlop 6100 fretwire. [7] [8] String height was measured to be 5/64" on the high E string and 7/64" on the low E string. [7] [8] Each string had three full winds for the best angle at the bone nut.

  4. Fretting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fretting

    A mechanically rigid connection system is required to hold both halves of a B2B motionless (often impossible). Wire to board (W2B) connectors tend to be immune to fretting because the wire half of the connector acts as a spring absorbing relative motion that would otherwise transfer to the contact surfaces of the W2B connector.

    Comparison of SWG (red), AWG (blue) and IEC 60228 (black) wire gauge sizes from 0.03 to 200 mm² to scale on a 1 mm grid – in the SVG file, hover over a size to highlight it. In engineering applications, it is often most convenient to describe a wire in terms of its cross-section area, rather than its diameter, because the cross section is directly proportional to its strength and weight ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wire_gauge

    In commerce, the sizes of wire are estimated by devices, also called gauges, which consist of plates of circular or oblong form having notches of different widths around their edges to receive wire and sheet metals of different thicknesses. Each notch is stamped with a number, and the wire or sheet, which just fits a given notch, is stated to ...

    Cort KX500MS Star Dust Green -fanned fret / multi-scale -7-string electric guitar with EMG-pickups. A multi-scale fingerboard (also called multiple scale length fretboard [1]) is an instrument fretboard which incorporates multiple scale lengths.

    The Birmingham gauge is also known as the Stubs Iron Wire Gauge or Birmingham Wire Gauge and is distinct from the Stubs Steel Wire Gauge and the British Standard Wire Gauge. It is commonly referred to simply as gauge (abbreviated as G ), [ 3 ] but this should not be confused with the French gauge , a separate system used for measuring the outer ...

  9. Fret - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fret

    A fret is any of the thin strips of material, usually metal wire, inserted laterally at specific positions along the neck or fretboard of a stringed instrument. Frets usually extend across the full width of the neck. On some historical instruments and non-European instruments, frets are made of pieces of string tied around the neck.
