When I built my first CBG I used a printed template to mark the frets, when I tried to build a cookie tin banjo I used another printed template. I know I saved the website to my favorite places but now nothing I saved gets me what I want and I can't find my orginal paper strip. Need help as my wife nows needs to do some frets.

Thank you Dan for the info. This wasn't the site I had used but it gave me the template I wanted.

I use that all the time. I have a jar with all my most often used templates. I just tape them on the neck/fingerboard, mark the fret positions, then peel the tape off and reuse them.

If you make your templates out of aluminum they'll last a lot longer.

I had actually toyed with doing just that. But, to be honest, I have the same paper templates I printed three years ago, and they are still in perfect shape.

But, like they say, whatever works for you is what is best!  :-)

Uh oh.  I just looked for FretFind 2D, and it is no longer there.  Anyone know where it might have gone?

It was the one I  used, and it was the only one I could get to work with a  Mac.

:-(

OH no! Sorry to hear that Fretfind2d is gone. That was really nice and of course work for mac. Glad I already have some printed out.

that is it and it is there, yaaahh!! Thanks.

if you have an iphone, i use an App called JeFretCalc. its great for what i do. Give it a go. you can put in any scale and it gives you the measurements for each fret

Well, hell!   Glad to see it is still around.  I had moved for a while to the cigarboxguitar.com site.

glad you like it :)
