Luthier Fret Ruler

作者 Neon22

An Inkscape extension that draws full sized Fretboards for stringed instruments. Guitar, Ukulele, Banjo, Dulcimer, etc

Appears in Extensions menu under Music.

Will draw a fret ruler in three useful ways:
1. Ruler - ideal as a Lasercut metal rule or paper printout,
2. Template - to be used as a guide in a router or table saw,
- e.g. https://youtu.be/0niBEfb5csk?t=95
3. Full neck to be printed and glued onto the neckstock for accurate sawing and marking. Includes fret marker placement and tapered necks.

Scales:
The fretboard can be drawn with a single scale or in a fanned format with two scales, on the bass and treble sides of the fretboard.

The methods for constructing scales are:
- 12th root of 2
- ratios of 17.817, 17.835, or 18
- scala files.

Also draws a curved arc template for curved fretboards. This is in two styles:
1. Block - to be extruded into a sanding block or neck support. Possibly using the Inkscape to openscad extension to export to an STL for 3D p

@Neon22: You're making your own guitars? (for the non-native speakers, could you include the word 'guitar' or 'bass' somewhere? I've added the 'music' tag ;-))

I do like the concept of this extension, now if I could only get it to setup properly for printing would be a real bonus. All I can get is part of the fretboard to show up in pdf??

Neon22 寫於

OK. So for PDF export the critical aspect is to set the paper size in the document preferences. As long as the paper size can enclose the fretboard you will succeed.
You can tell because Inkscape will draw the page around the fretboard.
I make the page just slightly larger than the fretboard by directly examining and adjust the Document width and height with the fretboard positioned at the top of the paper.

Thanks a lot, Neon22, GREAT job :)) worked out fantastic, I checked the frets after I printed the fretboard out against a metric ruler, and they were spot on. Again, great job :))

Is the bridge measurement the E-E spacing or an arbitrary value based on how you want the neck to taper out?

Neon22 寫於

The bridges measurement is the full width of the neck at that point. I find the its more useful to me that way.
As an aside - All measurements in Inkscape are accurate and you can use the measurement tool to measure any arbitrary distance in the units of your choice. (I mainly work in mm.)

Hello,
Thank you for providing this extension for Inkscape users!

This is just to let you know that most 3rd party Inkscape extensions, like this one, probably will not work with the upcoming new Inkscape version, the long-awaited version 1.0.

Here is the info you need to update this extension, so that it will work with 1.0 and future versions.
https://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php?title=Updating_your_Extension_for_1.0

If you have further questions, you can contact Inkscape developers via mailing lists (https://lists.inkscape.org/postorius/lists/?all-lists), forum (https://inkscape.org/forums/extensions/), or the chatroom (https://chat.inkscape.org/channel/team_devel)

If you have already updated it, please disregard this message.

All best,
brynn

made some upgrade for InkScape 1.0 > https://github.com/Neon22/inkscape_fret_ruler/pull/2

hopefully there are no errors left

This has now been updated for Inkscape 1.0 (thanks to Mario for his help and efforts in this).
Be sure to play with the 4580 scala files and the interface for finding useful ones hidden in the huge pile :)

Also fanned frets are quite useful IMHO.
