Copper wire for side markers. would that work?

Bamboo comes to mind

Any suggestions on side marker material? Something like standard dots used on most guitars? Something not found in StewMac or other luthier stores [read: something cheap and readily available]

Perhaps one of the Great Names in the field, Keni Lee Burgess, can answer that best:

So, I 'm getting ready to string up my first cigar box guitar! Took me awhile, but I should have her finished in a couple days. Was curious to know how to tune it up and what gauges of strings to use. Its going to be a four string, I'm assuming that I would just take the 5th, 4th, 3rd, & 2nd string of a 6 string acoustic guitar set? Any help would be appreciated!

They make decent frets. Atleast thats what I used for my first freted CBG anyway. Hell they were laying right there on the bench, so thats what I used

embarrassingly easy. thanks for the tips. It seems like the nail part might make good frets.

It certainly is a puzzle, Craig trying to get it apart for the first time. But once you tap the nail end with a hammer, it comes off, very easy.

Craig, if you have a hammer and pliers, hold the shaft of the pop rivet lightly with the pliers so the nail end is up and gently tap the nail end with a hammer. It doesn't take much of a tap. Holding the pop rivet by the shaft will prevent any damage to the visible part.
