Default fretboard...

found a good image to help out some people like me who haven't quite mastered the fretboard....(but don't cheat and use it with the Freboard Warrior software!)

I'm thinking about enlarging that and gluing it to my fretboard, I think that would help me more than anything else.

Those are cool inlays - is that a custom shop job?

There's a company that makes electrostatic decals that give you the same result as this; you just lay them across the fret after loosening or removing your strings,and they stay on really well.

Pipsqueak:
I don't suppose you'd have a LEFTY version of that freboard, would you? I'm teaching a lefty-friend of mine, and that would be a nice, handy addition.

Sorry, I haven't visited this thread in a while. I think they only come in white. You could call the company and find out for sure (there's probably a phone number on the website I provided). They cling to the fretboard just like electrostatic stickers. I've never had one come off or move at all while bending a string.

That would actually be pretty helpful. I've just finished learning standard, and now I have a whole new project Oh well, it's worth it.
