Install marker dots on fingerboard


20131107
I install the marker dots on the #3.
At first I was thinking of using the big 3mm MOP dots but while rampaging thru' my MOP / abalone dots collection I discover I bought a more elegant 2mm dot instead.
So I search for the appropriate drill bit and drill 2 holes one at 7th fret one at 12th fret.
After that i put a drop of CA glue on the 2 holes and hammer in the 2 dots.
The marker at 12th fret is good because the elevated neck makes it hard to detect the 12th fret.
I was somewhat confused by the whole length of fingerboard.
I know some put 2 dots on 12th fret.
Here's the pic of the dots.
I had to wait for it to dry before sanding smooth.
