Howdy folks,
I have a request from a friend to make a one-string CBG that will serve as a Diddley-Bow.
(I have yet to make a Diddley-bow, but plan on making myself a traditional broom handle one next.)
I have noticed that on some one-stringers, the fret markers don't seem to follow the normal pattern of 'fretting-on-a-guitar'. The Fret markers on the Diddley-bow seems to have some erratically spaced Fret Markers.
Where can I go to find out where I am supposed to mark these Fret-markers on my one-stringer?
Thanks!

Thanks for the reply, "Oily". That is exactly the info that I needed. After I looked up your location, I figured out what you do and where you got the nickname. <grin>
Be well, my friend....

I'd suggest using markings comparable to the diatonic fret pattern common to dulcimers..
