I use 3/8" buttons for fret markers but have no idea about what, or how, to use for the side markers.  Am looking for something simple, yet attractive, to use.  Any suggestions?  Thanks!

weed wacker line works great
the bright orange tones down to a nice red...and the red turns dark once in the hole, file down, with the write size drill bit no glue required.
Kevin,   I saw this yesterday and did it today ~ using red on this one.   Like it.  Thanks!

I like to just drill a 3/32" hole, very shallow, about to the shoulder of the tip of the bit, then put a drop of white latex paint in the hole and let it dry. Looks very nice and clean and is very visible, even in very low light.

I don't do side markers.  Bunch of damned excess baggage :P

 

Maybe a selfish reason.  I don't like the way they look so I don't add them.  No one has ever asked me to put them on, so what the hell?
