Thanks John. That does sound cool using cigar bands. I've got one in particular that I'm going to try that on. Thanks.

I have done it two ways.... on the edge visible to the player, I have marked the fret positions with a sharpie, and put dots for the major positions... the other thing I have done is use cigar bands to mark the major positions.... looks awesome!

That would make things easier. I could always show them how to mark them with a piece of masking tape down the neck while they are learning. Thanks JP.

<p>I've built a total of six of them so far, all with 1, 2 or 3 strings, none of them have frets or dot markers, 1 kept, 2 I sold and 3 I'm selling, haven't had any problems myself and the customers haven't complained.</p>
<p>As long as you're good with a slide and know the scale length, frets ain't needed on a broom handle.</p>

If its for sale I would mark the neck just my opinion the buyer may have no experience with scale so keep it easy and simple so there is a good foundation for them to build on .
