The 12th fret is the halfway point between the nut and the bridge. The fret distances are based on that.

How the guitar is built?

a few ways... neck through is a solid piece of wood and you just put the fretboard on the guitar and strings bolt on or set neck is 2 pieces of wood usually, than a rod going down the neck and than you put a fretboard on top. afterwards you add all the electronics, evenly space the frets, add the tuners and string it up.


Would a guitar string vibrate forever in the vacuum of space?

How do you re fret a guitar finger board?

The frets themselves are the thick metal wires embedded in the neck of a guitar on the finger board where you form the chords. When you say the 1st fret, though, it means the space between the nut (or fret 0, between the tuning pegs and the fret board) and the first fret. The guitarist applies pressure at this space which causes the string to be depressed exactly at the fret and, when struck, produce the note exactly 1 step higher than the fret before. Each fret represents a diatonic note, following the standard tempered scale. This means that the guitar is a tempered instrument, producing standardized pitches where the string meets the fret rather than where the guitarist's finger hits the string.


What is the musical space between notes called?

A 'rest'.


How does pitch change when you tighten the instrument?

From what I understand the space and other qualities cause the pitch. So depending on how much space the instrument is set at changes the pitch. Let's say you loosen a guitar string the pitch is flatter because the string has more space to make the sound waves. If you tighten the same string it will be sharper because the string has less space to make the sound wave.

How are the Distances between different objects in space measured?

Distances in space are measured using a variety of methods, such as parallax for nearby stars, radar for planets in our solar system, and redshift for galaxies and other objects in the universe. These measurements help astronomers understand the scale of the universe and the vast distances between objects in space.

What is the amount of space between two places?

The amount of space between two places can vary depending on their distance from each other. It is typically measured in units such as miles, kilometers, or other metrics of length. The space between two places can be determined using maps or GPS technology.
