    My acoustic guitar (a mid-50s Framus) has no fret marker on the 3rd and the double dot on the 14th is there any specific reason for this? Always wondered, is it geared towards a specific type of music or just aesthetic (the neck joins the body at the 14th).

      I bet there are 2 dirty great slotted wood screws under the 2 dot markers!! 😆

      Seriously, it is quite odd to see the twin markers on the 14th. I notice you have a zero fret as well.

      Tim, a WEM Rapier bass that I restored for my mate Arni in Germany had dot-markers that petered out after the 15th. No idea why, just those crazy Europeans I suppose.
