Abstract
A stringed instrument includes a body; an elongated neck; and a headstock, wherein the neck has a fingerboard on a top side with spaced-apart frets disposed perpendicularly along its length and extending from a first to a second side of the fingerboard. A top surface of the frets forms a fret plane having a first and second convex radiused surface, the first surface extending from an upper edge of the plane towards a center thereof and the second surface extending from a lower edge of the plane to a center thereof. In one embodiment, the first surface forms a smaller radius and the second surface forms a larger radius.
