ABSTRACT:
A stringed instrument having a body and a neck with a fingerboard extending from the body. The body has a bridge for supporting first end portions of a plurality of strings arranged in a series of decreasing thickness, and a nut at an end of the fingerboard is placed so as to provide support for a second end portion of the plurality of strings. The fingerboard has a pluarlity of frets located between the bridge and the nut, where the first fret is defined as the fret closest to the nut. The distance between the nut and the first fret for each of the plurality of strings is inversely proportional to the thickness of the corresponding string so that a thin, high pitched string has a greater distance between the nut and the first fret than does a thicker, lower pitched string.
