ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a fingerboard for stringed instruments, especially guitars, comprising transversely extending frets for varying the pitch of taut strings extending lengthwise over the fingerboard.

The fret elements are individually adjustable on the fingerboard in the longitudinal direction of the strings.
