Hi all. I have a customer who wants quarter note frets put on his fretboard up to fret 12 making this a 36 fret ibanez! Its for Turkish/Arabic type music where they use quarter notes a lot and as long as he pays me I'll put as many frets as he wants on the darn thing lol.
Initially I thought I would just put a fret exactly half way between each standard fret up to 12, but I've been looking around and see a lot of tempered type layouts and it got me thinking that I would need to bias the gap slightly to allow for the natural scale etc. The more I thought about it the more I puzzled myself

so thought I'd ask you guys before my brain melts. Has anyone here had any experience with this before? It's very late here so I'll have a look for a fret calculator that will work out exact dimensions possibly tomorrow but I'm not hopeful, the ones I have don't seem to have that function. I see a few companies have done this before me and it's nothing very new (freenote ones look interesting) but I would like a definite "this is how to work out the gaps" if you know what I mean. Any info would be appreciated guys, it's probly basic math but hey I'm getting old..
Brian.
