Petar Posted September 20, 2006 Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 Hallo.. I was wondering.. Is there some way to make plain dot marker ilays to look better by adding something beside them.. Something like small simplified leave shaped paper stickers arround the dot..so it looks like a flower..or smtng..? What would be the best and longest lasting material..cause i guess that plain paper would be easily and fast teared off.. Maybe plasticised paper..or very thinn plastic..or something..? I do not wanna drill the board or something..just something easy, please.. Any ideas..? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebenezer shred Posted September 20, 2006 Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 i would guess the best thing would be a small vinyl sticker, then refinish it or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supernova9 Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 i would guess the best thing would be a small vinyl sticker, then refinish it or something Unless you refinish in something really hard/thick, you won't stop it bein worn away. There's a reason people actually go to the effort of routing pockets you know, if it was that simple, or going to look that good using stickers, do you think they'd bother?

Desopolis Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 the word "inlay" kind of gives it away.. a sticker or whatever will just rub off. you can allways do it yourself but be carefull, dont want to replace the whole fret board.

Supernova9 Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 When will people on this board learn that either you have to fund something properly or it won't look good. That's not just you, it's been coming up a lot lately. Yes, you can build on a budget, if you have the skills. But if you don't have the skills or the cash, you're going to end up disappointed, and ruining a guitar. Plain and simple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
