Fretting over fretting? Here's a Template Idea.

Here's a simple template I made to fret a 26-1/2" VSL with 18 frets for a recent build. It's a chromatic scale, no problem for guitar players.

Just print it, cut it, overlap the marked frets, and mark up your fretboard.

Here's the PDF for most printers... 26 ½" VSL 18 Fret (Letter Size)

...and if you have an 11 x 17 printer: 26 ½" VSL 18 Fret (Tabloid Size)

This works great for me - I'm making more for my favorite setups.
