Very nice work Frankie.
The fret markers look similar (though not identical) to the ones used on the 're-imagined' Shergold Masqueraders.
(These are very nice guitars to play, if rather heavy for their size and dumpy in the looks department. but with all-rosewood necks, I doubt their longevity).
Thanks mate, it’s been an educational experience.Originally Posted by Simon Barden

Are you sticking with dots on the sides? Those Shergolds have the stripes on the side as well, and they aren't that easy to see. Though you do have the benefit of the main fingerboard stripes being on the 'top' edge, so can be viewed, whereas on the Shergolds, the stripes are on the 'bottom' edge of the fingerboard so are generally hidden by the fretboard's curvature.
No, as you point out these inlays serve both purposes give their location and size so I will dispense with the side dots.

And of course some side dots can always be added afterwards if found necessary.
My mate Eddie Bazil produced a couple of Public Enemy tracks. Quite some time ago now and I can't tell you what they were called but he did play them to me on his Cubase set-up.
Too cool! well hopefully I can ge this thing buttoned up before they tour in March.

They probably won't let you take it in to the venue.
Moot point any hoo, I will be away up the north coast of NSW when they play Sydney. I shall have to take it with me 😁They probably won't let you take it in to the venue.

Some very tentative clear coat sanding
I think you can see why
