Hey Paul,

I always thought the fret markers on Semies Tripple neck looked cool,
I've built several guitars myself with the same markers.

Cool - didn't Hofner mark it's necks like that?

Ed, out of curiosity - are the side markers on your archtop lines or dots?

LOL, :D yeah Mel, also known as SIDELINES...duh

Ed, cool indeed but I think it would be confusing to simple little ol' me, I grew up with them Fender dot markers and even find Semie's teenie weenie dots a challenge :roll:

Yeah I think it's a German style thing, the line/bar markers. Sometimes they're multicolored, on those Hofners etc.
