== For Luthiers ==

To place the frets on a Kite guitar, simply replace the 12th root of 2 = 1.059463 with the 41st root of 4 = 1.034390. Or purchase a pre-slotted fingerboard from [https://precisionpearl.com/ PrecisionPearl.com]. It comes radiused, tapered and inlaid, so all you need to do is glue it on and put in the frets. Replacing 24 old frets makes 41 new frets, but the last few are very tightly spaced. One might instead replace 21 old frets to make 36 new frets. Every 4th fret has a dot, and every 12th fret has a double dot.
