Classical Guitar Fret Markers - Rosette Pearl White Fret Dots

These rub-on fret markers will help you when you're learning classical guitar since some guitars do not have any inlays to indicate the third, fifth, 7th, etc. frets for easy use.

Dots arrived in good time for 1st class mail and nicely packaged. The wording in the instructions appeared somewhat cryptic for a first-time user. Upon opening the plastic bag with the dots, the backing paper immediately separated from the dots/sticky side. While generally this wasn't a good thing, it did direct me to the sticky side of the dots rather fast. After that, application was easy. While the dots are doing what they're meant to, I'm purchasing the ivory dots to replace the white dots. The ivory will look better and match the markers on the fret board better.

My first impression was very positive. These dots were easy to apply and they stayed put very well. However, after about 2 weeks of playing, they began to degrade as pieces began tearing off. Maybe it's related to my playing style so my experience may not be typical. But, based on my use,, I'd conclude they are very good for a temporary solution but I wouldn't consider them a permanent solution. 5 stars for temporary, 3 stars for permanent.

Bigger, brighter, and more eye catching than the original dots on my Washburn WI64. They install fairly easily, but transfer from the paper to the guitar with the lightest touch. Make sure your aim is good. They are very thin and fragile so you can not reposition them, but you can scratch them off and start over easily enough. Might want to order extras. Once on, they look great. Support from Rosette is outstanding.

The good:They are the perfect size for side markers.Very visible and not cheap looking.The bad:They tear easy.They will stick to the cover.Or they fall out of the covering onto the floor.After you drop or destroy a few of these you can’t finish putting them on the guitar. Extras would be really good. But the hassle just isn’t worth it.I don’t recommend these at all.

Very helpful for locating the frets. I'm using the dots on a bass with very small markers on the side of the neck. These dots can be (carefully!) applied directly over the existing markers, reducing the time it takes to look down to locate the fret. If you're careful to grab the guitar between the dots, they will last a long time.

The fret markets are good. Nine is enough for one guitar, with a few to spare if something goes wrong. If anything, the markers are bigger than I would have needed. I guess a "real" guitarist wouldn't have needed them, but for me the markers make it easier not to end up on the wrong fret when I need to do a quick position change.

Dots are a fantastic product. I play at night and could not see black dots on dark binding. They look great and can be seen easily. Worth every penny. Rock on!
