Ok think its complete now. Added fret Marker spots and a leather homemade strip

Posted by Arthur Putnam on July 24, 2017 at 1:11pm in Building Secrets, Tips, Advice, Discussion

Well a couple things added to my first build of CBG. I added fret markers by using the head of a nail and heating it up with a torch then touch down on mark locations. Seem to work pretty well. Also had some scraps of leather which I had to cut and saddle sew together to get the length I needed. Over all I don't think they took away from the appearance of the guitar. Since I wood burned the fret lines on the neck thought I would burn the markers also. What you think?
