How do you get the frets right on a cigar box guitar? Mine is not intonated very well.?
I used the 24.5 inch diagram off of cigarboxguitars.com and printed it out then affixed it to the neck that I made but the sound is not in tune. Is there an easier way to put frets on cigar box guitars so I can actually get the frets intonated right so that you can play chords on it…

Thanks

Measure the distance from the bottom of the nut to the 12th fret.

Add 3/16″

This distance should equal the distance from 12th fret to bridge saddle. If it doesn’t then you’ll have to move the saddle and/or bridge.
