Hi all,
I have started my first build today, a fretless JB4.

I am quite pleased on how it all sits after a mockup build but I have a question.

The dot inlays on the side of the neck are sitting in the fretted position (in the middle of the fret).
I would like to find a way to get rid of these dots, and make my own in the fretless position (which is dots where the frets should be) (3, 5, 7, 9, 12, 15, 17, 19 frets only).

I was thinking of gently drilling the existing dots, fill the holes with ... [something] and then drill my own dots inlays.
Is this the way to go? any suggestion/tips/heads up? what product should I use to fill the holes?
or should I simply cover the existing dot inlays with a black marker like a Sharpie or similar?

Thank in advance for looking into this
