Exploiting the 24 inch scale “Yardstick” fretboard 

Great video, I think this is going to be my first build, all acoustic, no electronics 👍.

This is the information that always puzzles me. Thanks.

That is encouraging stuff. There seems to be no end to your talent! I might never get it, but I’ll keep trying. But I’ve never been completely worthless!! I’ve always been good for a bad example 🤠

Well done Del! As always I'm holding my breath, and anticipating the; "sound" of the next note! A novel idea on a 24-inch fretless scale! Take care all!

Definently the first guitar I'll make. Sounds great. Cool toys

Good stuff! Thank you!!

Thanks for sharing this. 24 inches I the lengthscale of Fender Jaguar and even Mustang if my memory is not wrong.

Bro! I was looking and looking for my scale and here it is. Justin showed the trick but you made it possible before me to understand. I started by learning the key and then used a capo until I found the right barr to dig into and it made my playing amazing. I'll have to build several with this in mind. Now it all makes sense. Connected the dots, lol

Del, I'm finally done. Just tweaking now but so awesome and it pulls from my old but obsolete 6 string skills.

Well done Del! I’m appreciate what you are doing with these videos.

Nice, makes sense.

Del is a genius

That's awesome Del, I can't wait to try it

Fascinating

Great Idea, sounds good. The only time inches work better than metric. Take care from Oz.

Man. I have some catching up to do. I think I’ll be binge-watching your videos this weekend. This one really measures up, by the way. Maybe perform something by the Yardstick Birds?

Great informative video! Outstanding as always.

how do you tune these strings? I really like this approach to playing. I have some difficulties w musical theory so having a visual way to interperate the scale is a game changer. please share the tuning of each string

Very cool Professor Del

Add a fourth string and you would run into the Comma of Pythagoras with those frets. Once you cross the Comma of Pythagoras and as you go higher, notes begin to sound like a little girl with a sore throat. It's another reason why you have your bridge at an angle... and another argument for the even tempered scale.

Puckett Cigar Box Guitar The 3 & 4 String Cigar Box Guitars were kinda fun but let's take it to the next level. If we make a 5 String Cigar Box Guitar tuned to Open G (GDGBD) then you'll be playing just like Keith Richards on a Cigar Box Guitar.

Cool stuff Del!

Okay. So I understand that you put the only 3 frets at the first 3 harmonics. 24/2, 24/3 & 24/4. 12", 8" & 6". What I don't understand is why. Why frets at only those 3 spots and not other harmonics? Or why not fretless? You didn't explain the advantage of having those, and just those 3 specific frets. Could you explain? Thanks.

My head exploded. Great video

🤘

very cool!!!! would a 24" scale work with a cool 9x12 cigar box i have? what size would be best? thanku

My old vocal music teacher Vito E Mason used to say "duple is human but triple is divine ". You're making those halves and doubles sound pretty divine too! Is that a fixed bridge and if not do you change the angle to refine the tuning?

So what would happen if you put at fret at every inch marker? Oh, then ran the fret board right up to the bridge................. If you don't do it, I just might ;)

Question: since you done two string didley bow about design it so it be played with bow like the monogolian two string horsehead fiddle

why bother with the few frets you have there at all? I don't think they give you anything special. Nice build.

Me: Del what key are you playing in? Del: 7 and 7/8 Me: oh, 200 mm. Thanks Del for another interesting video.

Awesome video. Dang RU-vid stuck a Biden ad in your video through.

Oh hello! Indeed

Dems twangee notes
