Guitar stringing tip: notice the setup from bridge to tuning pegs from the start! Thread strings from the bottom of the bridge. Be careful, they can sling!

Remember why I said that the look of those dots across the frets didn't matter as long as they feel comfortable to touch?
That's because I am applying custom decals all over the frets that will be covering up all of those dots so no one can see them.
When applying these decals in it's rightful order, it's best to cover up the frets with the dots first before applying everything else.
This is because you may need to move the decals around to cover up the dots (like I was forced to do within the 12th fret) and then work your way around them. Cause once you apply a decal that doesn't match up in place with the adjacent fret decal...you can't go back.
I will say though, I did make same mistakes misplace the decals on the wrong fret boards, but thanks to a pair of scissors I managed to cut parts of the decals off to make it work.
1/ Can you guess where they are?
2/ How does it look so far?
Even after a mistake, it can easily be wiped off with cleaning alcohol especially since these areas haven't been sanded and what not.
Although the sides of the fretboard had to have more lighter fluid rubbed into it to get the black stain to seep into them

Now onto the actual wood staining
A little makes a lot of difference, it's already looking so much better and this is just after the first coating too.
Like I said, the previous method makes it absorb it faster and I shall be adding on more coats as well.
You can even compare its color to the area under where the nut's suppose to be. Huge difference
Next...is to stain the fret board black.
But first...an unusual approach: POURING LIGHTER FLUID ALL OVER THE FRETBOARD!
No, I won't be setting it on fire, sorry to disappoint. This is just to dry out the frets to to make it "thirsty" so to speak.
So now, once I rub in the black stains it will be easier for the wood to absorb it all and hold onto it's colour over time. This is especially used to prevent your fingers from getting stained from playing it later, cause if the liquid just coats the surface as oppose to seeping into the wood then won't stay in as well.
Then again...maybe it would've been fine but it will make the job more easier.
(Reminder: You should always sand, with at least 320 paper, and clean your frets before moving onto wood staining (whether or not you decide to use lighter fluid just before apply the stain)
