Guitar Frets are laid out to accomplish an equal tempered division of the octave. Each set of twelve frets represents an octave. The twelfth fret divides the scale length exactly into two halves, and the 24th fret position divides one of those halves in half again. The ratio of the spacing of two consecutive frets is formula_1 (twelfth root of two). In practice, luthiers determine fret positions using the constant 17.817—an approximation to 1/(1-1/formula_1). If the nth fret is a distance x from the bridge, then the distance from the (n+1)th fret to the bridge is x-(x/17.817). Frets are available in
Matt Heafy Signature Dean Guitar on this guitar has had a completely original carve away made where the neck and body meets. (Matt Heafy and the Dean Woodshop guys cut back a lot on the heel of the neck to get the most amount of playability without hurting the tone of the guitar) This guitar also has a new feature for the ML series by adding two more frets to the neck, making it a twenty-four fret fretboard, instead of the original 22 fret fretboards on the MLs and most Dean Guitars for that matter. The fretboard is an ebony fretboard with twenty-four frets as
