They look like REAL inlays! Easy to apply & remove. Inlay Stickers are SUPER-THIN and Removable! You can modify your guitar so easily!! They will not get caught by your fingers while playing! It's possible to use finger ease spray or lemon oil after applying the stickers. No adhesive will be left behind after you peel off the sticker.

In my accompanying photo you can see white arrows pointing to the side markers I put on my classical guitar. Like most classicals no markers had been on it. Remember to clean off any added polish or debris on the guitar finish BEFORE applying the dots. I used very fine tweezer to peel away the very thin clear plastic film WITH THE DOTS STILL ADHERED TO THE FILM. The most critical thing is to recognize that the adherent on the small dot is NOT ON THE PLASTIC SIDE. Remember that the stronger adherent is on the side opposite of the thin plastic. I found that pressing down the dots the day after application really solidified the dot to the guitar. I am quite confident that these little dot side markers with stick to wood for a long time.

I used these on a fretless bass neck that had the dots on the wrong place. So I painted a strip over the wrong dots then installed these using a tuner. It's been a while and they are still affixed well however one is starting to come apart...but I have a lot of them!

Worked out great I did t expect the size choices I had . I used medium size for markers on my upright and the small for my Hofner, it’s the real deal from Germany just like Paul’s . So I wanted to put something good and they look great ! Thank you so muchTexas. Bassman

I have an ESP Phoenix Arctic Metal that I love but always thought it looks unfinished with no fret inlays. I came across these and thought maybe they’ll work or maybe they won’t but for ten bucks why not. They were super easy to put on, I think they look great. So far I’m very happy with them. I’ll update my review if they don’t stick long but I’m very pleased with how it turned out.

This is the second set of inlay stickers I've bought on Amazon... the first were the diamonds (which I also reviewed). These weren't as easy to apply as the diamonds and don't seem as sticky. I applied them like I did before but they wouldn't rub off the film and onto the surface as easily. It could be the smaller size or that this guitar has a real rosewood fingerboard which is more oily than the other which has a dryer jatoba material. They're holding fine for now but I suspect they won't last. As for why I used them... the guitar has very small abalone dots that are very hard to notice (about the same size as the side marker stickers). You probably can't tell from the photo but I actually didn't use the large dots, I used the smaller ones and the side markers on the upper frets. IMO, the dots you're supposed to use on the fretboard are way too big. Luckily for me the extra dots they include worked out because the main product (large dots) wouldn't have.

I was repainting a guitar for my adoptive nephew, and needed fret dots. These looked really nice in pictures. They look really nice in person, they are noticeably proud of the surface, so if that bugs you be aware. I was adding paint and a clear coat so I could level it to the dots and they look great. Have withstood a five year old for about a year of occasional playing. pretty good and at a decent price.

The roasted maple neck on my guitar is pretty dark, so it's fairly difficult to see the black dots in low light. I decided to get these dots in silver/white to go along the side of the neck, and the front, to make them more visible in low light. They work but....Putting them on was a circus. The dots sit on waxed paper release layer, and there is a partially sticky clear layer they are supposed to adhere to in order for you to transfer then to the guitar without touching the glue. Unfortunately, the manufacture process cut through the waxed paper and the dots stuck to it rather than the sticky release layer. Long story short, it didn't work as advertised. Ended up having to use tweezers and a scalpel to put them on. What a pain.I did manage to get them on, but the material they are made of is fairly thick so you can feel it when you move up and down the neck. Not a good thing. considering how much these things cost, and how few they give you, there is very little room for error. I'll probably end up at and office supply store and replace these with paper stickers. Especially since I can get several hundred for the $10 these cost.I do not recommend these at all. A complete waste of money.UPDATE: 2023-11-04Well these stickers have already started to fall off. (Haven't played this guitar much since I put them on) I am very disappointed. I had high hopes, but the stickers are pretty useless, and far too expensive.

These make your Epiphone look just like a Gibson!.This is my second order of these fret inlays dots. They are excellent, and easy to put on and take off. I use them on several Epiphones and put the medium sized dots on the bridge, on each end of the pins to simulate what I call, the Gibson Dimple dots ...that are always added to each side of the Gibson bridges. These look pretty darn good. They must be positioned just right to look right, but you get extra dots in the set, in case you mis-position one dot, and need to pull it off and put another one on. I wipe the area with Naptha first (lighter fluid) to clean the surface of oil and gum. Once they are on they stay put and look like you had a luthier install the dots. I do not recommend these on an expensive guitar with a sensative nitro or laquer finish..they could damage the finish....But all Epiphones and many brands have the bullet proof poly finish, and these dot markers won't affect a poly finish. Love them. I've searched for these for years...finally I found them.
