    The dots won't be painted on, unless you have a one-of-a-kind factory first. All the maple fretboards typically have black plastic dots, usually 2-3mm deep. If you look closely you should see some fine sanding scratches on them from when the fretboard was sanded prior to the frets being installed.
    Scott.

    I'll have to check but some indeed have scratches in them and the scratches reveal wood colour underneath the dot i'll check on saturday.
