The invention relates to a method for improving playability of stringed and plucked instruments, specially guitars, comprising strings (10) which are stretched accord a fretted or fretless finger board (7), wherein the profile of the finger board surface is measured underneath each individual tightened string. The optimum form of the finger board surface is determined for each string by a computer on the basis of string parameters, the aim being to keep the distance between the strings and the fret surfaces (11) to a minimum, without impeding the vibration of the strings. Subsequently, the differences between the calculated and real finger board surface profile are compensated by a computer-controlled machine. The instrument which is tuned with high precision and adjusted to a minimum string position is characterized by excellent playability and clear intonation. |
