57-EDD
Dot-Guide for 57-EDD instruments
57-EDD Fretboard is based on the formula (Scale_Length/(2^(x/57))). The most complex of Armodue resides here on 57-EDD. The 'but' with this, that is not comfortable for guitar, because the limt size between the cuts for put the frets is, in my consideration, 3,556mm (0.14"), and fretting a instrument with just 1 ditave is not very expansive nor generous. The solution with this system is, in the same cases of 46, 50 and 53 EDDs, applying it with a short bass scale length (818mm [32.2"]) with 84 frets.
In this first case, the dots are in Armodue position, favouring the scale 7 7 7 4 7 7 7 7 4, and the dots graphics a scale of 2L5s 11;7 Relation, in the places 11· 18· 25· 32· 39· 46· 57: 68· 75· & 82· (11 7 7 7 7 7 11) :

Note that the 46th fret with the 6th mark is the note '8' quasi-perfect 7/4, just -3,3 Purd. of error (-0.41 Cents).
