I would suggest that the dots on the side of the fingerboard are in the same place as on a fretted fingerboard, ie between the 11th and 12th fret positions.

Many thanks.
You could do vertical lines that match up with where the frets would be instead of the dots which are traditionally positioned mid point between the frets being marked.

Thanks, but no. That will never happen. Fretlines make the instrument unplayable for me. I either have frets, or not.
The incorrect (IMHO) placement is more of an issue in terms of correct bridge placement.
My '77P has the dots in the correct location, and I may undertake a little surgery to relocate these, but it's not a biggie. Having a full size upright sitting in the corner here, I'm sure I can cope.
