Anyone used fret marker decals?
I'm wondering about the cheap sticker/decals sold on the Bay for a Strat wannabe I've got laying here.... Any one tried them? Do you think they'd hold up to note bending?

Don't bother. They're absolute junk.

Thanks... I figured they were so cheezy that no one bothers to even bring them up here.

Could be noone dares mentioning them as these would disqualify them as 'real guitarists'...

Are you talking about markers like "E F# G... etc..."?

They're stickers that cover up inlays or take the place of them. They're just stickers that look like M.O.P. But they're not.

That's correct... There are several different styles including skulls, iron crosses, etc.

I recently asked Carvin if they could do inlays in a Nylon String. For some reason Nylons often don't have inlays.

I NEED those inlays when I'm jumping around the fingerboard ( " .......... well I was only a half step off on my solo, close enough . ").
