To calculate the fret distance:
\[ D_{fret} = \frac{SL}{17.817} \]
Where:
Fret distance refers to the spacing between frets on the neck of a stringed instrument, such as a guitar. This distance determines the pitch of the note produced when the string is pressed down at a particular fret. Accurate fret placement is essential for proper intonation and tuning of the instrument.
Let's assume the following value:
Using the formula:
\[ D_{fret} = \frac{25.5}{17.817} = 1.43198 \text{ inches} \]
The fret distance is 1.43198 inches.
Let's assume the following value:
Using the formula:
\[ D_{fret} = \frac{24.75}{17.817} = 1.38900 \text{ inches} \]
The fret distance is 1.38900 inches.
