<p>Thanks, Rusty! I never would have thought of the colored pencil trick. That's a good one. I've used burn-ins for side dots with wood binding before - very easy and they matched the wood dots on the fingerboard perfectly. I'm too scared to try that on plastic binding! Maybe I'll try it on a binding scrap sometime.</p>

<p>Thanks Bill! That's exactly what I needed. I'm assuming double dots at 12.</p>
<p>The neck binding was already replaced at another shop. The refret was done at a second shop. I'm assuming frets were done first. Now I've got it for the side dots and body binding. This guitar has been busy. </p>
<p></p>
<p>They did pretty good yellowing the new binding with lacquer, but then cut through it in several spots letting the bright white show through. Touching that up is on my list of things…</p>
