JohnJohn is re-furbishing my favorite strat neck. I originally just wanted to have the current plastic fret markers replaced with abalone or pearl (they're smaller than 1/4" currently) and have a fret level/dress done. John is going to steam a couple of dents out of the fretboard, sand it level and then oil it, making it much darker, which I prefer. I've decided I like the look of abalone better than pearl on this guitar.
John has had the idea to possibly replace the 2 12th position dot markers with a block of abalone, etched with my initials, name, symbol that I like, or almost anything really. Or, I could have each of the 12th fret markers round, as they are now, but with a simple "J" etchet into them. Or, they could be MOP instead of abalone. I need your help in deciding.
This strat is very special to me. It's the first electric guitar that I bought, and I refinished it myself. Needless to say, even though it's not really worth anything...it is to me, so I want it to be just right. I'm also seriously considering letting the results of this poll determine what John does to the neck....so be thoughtfull and let's see what we can come up with.
