Thanks for your courage. These things are definitely gateway stickers. I heard Tom Morello started with some simple fretboard stickers and, the next think you know, he’s sticking a bunch of ridiculous looking sheep stickers all over his rig. Eventually, he went nuts with a Sharpie and stopped trimming the excess strings on his headstock. Sad story.

I know it all too well. I bought a set of these. Sure, they were great at first, a few fretboard here and there. Then a few became a lot, then a lot became more, and more. Next thing I knew my Les Paul went from Sunburst to Sunday paper..., my case and car were covered in bumper stickers, I was out of control. I had to buy 6 packs a day just to feel normal. There was so much resin on my fingers that my hand was permanently stuck in a G chord formation. I couldn't drop a pick if Id tried. Then one day I met a woman who saved my life. She was giving a demonstration of Goof-Off sticker remover at the mall. I've been clean and sticker free ever since!

I've used similar blocks on several guitars. I even had some custom ones made. I installed them on my fender telecaster & stratocaster the look like the real deal. I started out on a few squires and once I seen the end result I felt confident enough to put them on a high end guitars . The ones I have are removable so if you change your mind you wont ruin your guitar neck. I've had them on one guitar for over 8 years and they geld up under regular day to day playing. You can look around and there are several inlay makers. Good video.

That's so great man that you are playing the guitar at 13. And even greater that you're enjoying it. Watch as many of these guitar channels as you can find the ones you like they're just a wealth of information and instructions. I started playing at the age of 20 I self-taught. I play drums professionally and basically picked up the guitar to learn how to how to play another instrument but mainly to be able to write songs. If you stick with it and play a little bit everyday by the time you get to my age or even half my age you'll be an amazing amazing player. I unfortunately stopped for close to 30 years. That to you is three of your lifetimes lol. But let's just say that's a very long time in anyone's life. In that time I went blind well severely blind severely legally blind. Most of my useful side is gone. I decided 5 years ago that I wanted to pick the guitar up again. I found it to be hard I didn't realize how much I depended on looking at the fretboard. 5 years later or 6 years now I'm playing the guitar again I'm enjoying it greatly and I'm getting better every time I play as you will when you play. I'm still not where I was when I was younger and I played on a regular basis and could see. But I'm playing well enough to enjoy myself to write songs again and to basically have a great time. So please stick with it if you love it now just in a few years in one year if you keep playing you're going to be so amazed at how much progress you make. Whatever kind of music you like just go for it man. You won't regret it. You might regret it if you stop for a long time like I have. If I would have stuck through it and played on a regular basis not even every day for all those years that I had stopped I can't imagine how well I'd be playing today. Even without my sight. So go for it man don't lose that love keep playing if it's not every day every other day just on a regular basis and you'll just be amazed at where you are in the near future. I hope this comment didn't seem to be weird to you or stranger or anything. I'm only trying to impart my learns experiences and hopefully it will help you become the amazing player that you want to be. All right man stay safe guitarist speak now please send comment on label

Yeah, as soon as he showed that guitar, I thought, “I don’t think that’s right. Shouldn’t the straight side be along the left edge of the fretboard?” But then I dismissed the thought only because he mentioned at the beginning that there were clear instructions to follow. So I figured this way must have been how he was instructed to do it.

ALWAYS love and look forward to your posts Darrell!!! Wow! This was an interesting and risky one... LOL! (# of views and all...) I have to say, deep down, factory fret inlays are very diverse as an art and other than the boutique "makers" we all have to live with whatever limited options we get... until now. That's kind of why I don't have a Gretch on my wall, I prefer the thumbnail inlay over the block and when I find a (used) MIK Gretch it always seems to be "block"! So, sometimes the inlay is a deal-breaker! To be honest, waiting for the follow-up... (do-it!, lol!) I think at the end of the day the "long term" effects of the glue are going to affect the natural ageing and patina of any neck but especially the "woodish" type fret-board. But, hey, that's what you do, pros and cons... Thanks for exploring... (i.e. does any viewers remember the affects of "ductape" on almost any surfaces in gigging applications??!) (oh yea, let us know how the bends over the inlays feel...8) )

I tell my students after they learned the riff/song, play it in total darkness or, when not possible at home, close your eyes. Sure sometimes its needed to look at the fretboard when change position of hand, special when u need to move more as three frets higher or lower. I am a singer too and play guitar or bass while singing, so for me it is total natural looking to the audiance and not whole time to my fretboards. Sure it only work for music u learn by heart, when improvising or in a session, than you need to see more, see what u do and more important communicate with the eyes with the other musicians. When u are on stage and play a show, eyes to the audiance. When work with band, improvising or similar, do not play in twilight it only harm your concentration and make u faster tired. Thats why in an office ever lot light.

Darryl, please do a follow up with Fretlook to see if they took your advice regarding “pre-cut” inlays. And have a carefree weekend!

A friend of mine got a set for a guitar he had that came with no markers. They look good on a glossy maple board, and you can't even tell they aren't inlays as they sit quite flush. I'd imagine if your fretboard was a little more grainy or porous and not sealed, they might not look as convincing but if your using them as a visual reference, or just add some aesthetics to an inexpensive guitar(as most guitars have inlays) then it's a viable option.

Darrell, can you remove them to revert your neck back to the original dots or whatever?

They are just 0.003″ thin. They don't effect the playing. Of course, if you are looking for them you will feel them.

I habe an inexpensive Cordoba flamenco guitar that sounds GREAT. I'm convinced it was priced incorrectly. Anyways all my guitars have inlays except that one, so I think I'll try these out. It's an inexpensive guitar so I've been a little bold in my upgrades, drilling in locking strap holders, shaving my bridge myself etc. So far I haven't ruined it! Thanks for the info.

How did you manage to skip the only real questions about these things? How do they feel? Can you feel the edge of the sticker? Do string bends pull the edges up? Can you feel them while playing? In the long term, do you get gunk buildup around the sticker?

they look good but what about when you clean and oil the fingerboard? Also, what about if you decide you want to remove them, are they going to peal bits off of the fingerboard?

You can clean in a normal way but pls no steel wool. If you like something different, just peel of and change. No residue will be left

Cool affordable option! Still questioning how long they will *really* last. A bit off topic, but how are you liking your partscaster after some time has passed?

I think the «abalone» ones would look better if you lined the straight ends with the edge of the fretboard. Cool concept though. Btw, how does bending feel with these?

Since I just lemon oiled my fret board recently , I wondering if I should clean it with alcohol to remove any oil before installing these "decals".

You can do that. But please give the freatboard some time to sweat all out and dry before installing them.

Super video the only question I have is when one changes strings and then usually one would polish the neck with lem oil polish etc how do the stickers react , color fade, edges become loose ??? if the neck doesnt have enough moisture lem oil etc is there a chance the neck could dry out somewhat ??
@fretlook

Hey Paul, even with inlay stickers applied, you can clean and oil your guitar as usual. The stickers do not seal the surface, so all liquids can still pass through. When applied, the stickers can be treated like normal inlays - only steel wool should not be used under any circumstances.
