My new Mainland concert disappointingly came without fretboard side dots and want to add them. I've got some very fine brushes (think head of a pin fine) and could just put dots of white paint at the appropriate location (this is what my Kala has). But I'm wondering about alternate methods- like drill a shallow small (3/32-1/8) hole and inset a piece of aluminum wire (or contrasting wood), then carefully file flush.
The paint dots are certainly easier but the inlayed dots have more class and I'm pretty sure I could do it without screwing it up (bradpoint drill bit in a manual drill)
Any ideas or opinions?
Thanks
