Oak Neck. Dots are burned in. Fret markers were created using a small round file and brown Sharpie marker.

Thanks Frank. Appreciate it. The fret markers aren't burnt on this one. I used small files to make a groove then used a brown sharpy marker to color them in. I've done the filed groove thing in a few CBGs with just wood stain and they look good. The grooves always look darker. The dots on this one are burned in with a wood burning tool though.

I like the way the fret burned markers look. That is what I am going to do to mine since I am in the process of a rebuild.
