Really sorry to hear about the bad news, Nitro. Hope things don't get any worse for you.


Personally, I'd stick with black dots. To me, Pearloid are fine on rosewood/ebony boards, but on a maple board are very hard to see. I've just finished replacing the pearloid markers on a Fender Lite Ash Tele board with black ones (badly) just because of that fact.

So at the very least, I'd suggest a darker, rather than lighter, style of pearloid.
