Repairing Guitar Fingerboards Fretboard Repair Cracks, Warpage, Inlay, Finger Wear, Damage, Wear Patience and caution are needed to insure the fret's tangs do not pull chips from the fingerboard when they are removed. n occasion it is necessary to replace fingerboards that have been damaged by poor workmanship or are simply too brittle to be repaired. I normally buy all of my fingerboards pre-slotted from the factory or other suppliers since it's cheaper to buy a slotted fingerboard than to make it from scratch. www.fretnotguitarrepair.com /fingerboard.htm   (990 words)

Guitar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia By depressing a string against the fingerboard, the effective length of the string can be altered, which in turn changes the frequency at which the string will vibrate when plucked. The lower fretboard action (the height of the strings from the fingerboard) and its electrical amplification lend the electric guitar to some techniques which are less frequently used on acoustic guitars. Also called the fingerboard in fretless guitars and basses, the fretboard is a piece of wood embedded with metal frets that comprises the top of the neck. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Guitar   (6978 words)

Fingerboard Adjustment and Shapes A full curvature to the fingerboard is one design as opposed to the curved fingerboard with the flat E bevel facing for the E string to sweep across (see Diagram #2). The flat faced design fingerboard for the E string is often more suitable for the commercial or jazz player who finds that this flat facing creates a level plain in which the pizzicatoed E string can accurately sweep laterally as well as longitudinally across with a minimum of extraneous surface noise. In conjunction with the proper and accurate curvature of the fingerboard and bridge, is the accuracy of the length of the fingerboard. www.doublebass.biz /fingerboard.html   (1178 words)

FRETS.COM Field Trip I'm adamant about using hide glue for fingerboard attachment because the glue is absolutely rigid when it dries and is never subject to flowing or stretching, even in the high heat of a parked car. The back of the neck is protected with a padded caul, and the fingerboard has a caul with two maple "rails" that apply pressure only at the outer edges of the fingerboard. Absorbing water from the glue, the fingerboard has a tendency to curl upward at the edges and down in the middle. www.frets.com /FRETSPages/Luthier/Technique/Guitar/Structural/NewFingerBoard/85hd28board.html   (1251 words)

The Continuum Fingerboard The Continuum Fingerboard was first presented in a one-hour demo at the International Computer Music Conference in Thessaloniki, Greece, on September 28, 1997. The Continuum Fingerboard is a new type of music performance device that is approximately the same size as a traditional synthesizer keyboard, but it has a continuous playing surface instead of discrete keys. The input parameters from the fingerboard are used to control a comprehensive interpolational scheme based upon a multidimensional timbre control space. www.shout.net /raul/music/continuum.html   (297 words)

Attaching the Fingerboard Gluing the fingerboard is the next step, which is done with ordinary yellow glue. When I glued the fingerboard on and clamped it to the workbench, I didn't notice that, although I had plenty of clamping pressure on the top, the edges were not being held tight together. After gluing on the fingerboard, the neck is placed back on the body, and the neck is marked where it hits the edge of the binding on the back of the guitar. www.angelfire.com /il3/jkumorek/Page23.html   (216 words)

Petros Fingerboard Oil - Todd's Review   (Site not responding. Last check: ) The only wood on the exterior of an acoustic guitar which is not protected by a lacquer finish is the fingerboard.

David's Corner -- The doghouse The neck and fingerboard of the string bass are an integral part of the total sound and feel of the bass. The fingerboard should be thick enough so that it keeps the neck straight and allows for a curve to be planed on the playing surface. By shining a 25-watt bulb between the straight edge and the fingerboard we can see the fingerboard surface bumps magnified as shadows in the thin band of light in the fine space between the straight edge and the fingerboard. www.davidgage.com /z_david_neck.htm   (911 words)

The Fingerboard Then I trace the fingerboard's outline on the neckshaft and draw the outline of the peghead. I have first carved the "primary facet," which involves carving from the fingerboard edge down to the heelcap limit guide lines. Next will come the peghead inlay (the horse design I used on the Size 5 I made last summer), the ebony heelcap, and the final shaping of the neckshaft (after the fingerboard is glued on) and the heel. pweb.jps.net /~msm/htmlpages/marshapeneck.html   (304 words)

Continuum Fingerboard It resembles a traditional polyphonic MIDI keyboard in that it is approximately the same size and is played with ten fingers, and it also resembles a fretless string instrument in that it does not have discrete pitches. The Continuum Fingerboard tracks and updates MIDI values for the x, y, and z position of one to ten fingers every 4 milliseconds. One possibility is to let the y position on the Continuum Fingerboard correspond to the bowing position on a string instrument, where bowing far from the bridge produces a mellower sound and bowing near the bridge produces a brighter sound. namm.harmony-central.com /WNAMM04/Content/Haken/PR/Continuum.html   (578 words)

FRETS.COM   (Site not responding. Last check: ) My favorite solution to the problem is to remove the frets and "scoop" the fingerboard thinner in that area.

Fingerboard   (Site not responding. Last check: ) The most unusual feature is the slight radius fashioned into the fingerboard.
