If you do want fret markers on a fretless neck, then it can often be easier (given relatively basic skill and tool levels) to get a fretted neck and fill in the slots with a contrasting coloured hard filler e.g. coloured epoxy, to give you the markers, hence Rabbit's comments.
I'll see what happens. A little out of my already broken budget. I'd hope that a fretless neck might come in a little closer to right to go. We'll see I guess!

I'm thinking I'm about done with the body. The grain has come up quite a lot which is kinda cool. I've got about half a dozen coats of Tru oil on and I'm not sure I'll add any more beyond touch ups. I'm certainly not used to having grain come up like this, but it seems to provide a cool effect that works with the colour and the stripes.
