Markers on Pre-Fretted Boards

Posted by Stan Jones on November 13, 2020 at 2:47am in Building Secrets, Tips, Advice, Discussion

Hi folks. I may be using the wrong search terms, but I can't seem to find any info on this.

Does anyone have advice or methods they use to install fret markers on fretboards that are purchased with frets installed? Burning/branding is of course understood, but that's not the look I'm looking for.

Thanks, cheers, Stan

     Uncle Toad,

    There is a glitch in the system. Please use the "HTML Editor" in the upper right of this box for more success.

    I use countersinked woodscrews. I always do them after the frets are installed.

    Have you thought about drilling holes and filling with contrasting wood filler?

    I have also used Round Styrene ABS Rods, I push into the hole and then trim flush with a sharp razor blade.
