Selected User Reviews For Guitar Fretboard Stickers Markers Inlay Sticker Decals for Bass, Electric & Acoustic Guitars (dragon)
Applying for a job is extremely difficult. First and foremost, these are very attractive; however, due to the way they are made, they do not have a protective clear cover. Instead, they come with a single, small clear application sheet that you must use for each decal segment over and over again. These are far inferior to those offered by one of the better manufacturers on Amazon. The other product has a clear protective application film over the entire decal, which makes it very easy to apply to your guitar fretboard, but not this one. After a lot of hair-pulling, I was able to apply the decal. They're pulling, and I'm not sure how long they'll last. In general, this is a poor product.
This brand is terrible when compared to others on here that have "one" inlay to do that is incredibly easy to apply. This dragon is made up of many different parts, each of which is unique. EACH PART OF THE INLAY, NOT THE INLAYS AS A WHOLE. br>br>After attempting to install the inlays, the attached photo shows what was left. This is a HORRIBLE product.
I tried everything and finally gave up! Is it possible that I made a mistake? But how would I know because there were no instructions included? Don't squander your time or money on this!.
Very good quality, and it looks fantastic around the neck.
This is not the same color as the picture and does not cover the entire length of the guitar neck.
It's a great addition to my guitar, and it's a lot of fun. Nothing is perfect, and I had to trim a few pieces here and there, but the process was enjoyable. I'm sure the sticky will start to come off after a while of hard play, but that's perfectly normal and easy to fix with some light gluing. This is fantastic, and I can't wait to try it out on a different guitar.
Otherwise, you'll be disappointed if you don't properly prepare your fingerboard. It, like any other adhesive-based product, requires a clean, dry surface to adhere to. With that said, I believe these items are excellent for sprucing up your guitar for a few dollars. I put them on an electric/acoustic guitar with gold hardware, and you'd swear they were inlays until you got about six inches from the neck. Remove all of the strings from the guitar and place it on a flat surface to begin. Fingerboards are naturally dirty and oily due to our filthy little fingers, and you'll need to clean them up if you want them to last longer than the first gig. If you haven't done so in a while, now is a good time to polish the fret wire with some ultra fine steel wool. Get some clean paper towels and some Naphtha or rubbing alcohol and begin cleaning the finger board. If the paper towel becomes dirty, switch to a clean spot. Make several passes with your fingernails to get right up next to the fretwire. When your paper towel begins to come away clean, you're ready to begin applying your inlay. This will dry out your fingerboard and give it a lighter appearance, which you can fix once you're finished. If you're using a set that's designed to cover existing dots, cut out your inlays and lay them out before peeling off the backing. Start with the dot frets and work your way away with the vine pattern in this case. You won't miss the dots if you're slightly off when you get to that fret if you do it this way. When you first begin using them, you'll notice an X-shaped mark on your skin. The use of an acto knife is extremely beneficial. Use the tip to peel the decal away from the backing and hold it in place while you position it. You won't be able to touch the adhesive with your fingers this way. Place it in the desired location and press down. Remove the top clear layer by rubbing it out from the center with your nail. Continue until you've covered all of them. The final step is to reintroduce moisture to your fingerboard's wood, but not so much that it lifts the decals. As a result, avoid painting with a paintbrush. On my fingerboards, I use lemon oil, but whatever you use, use a q-tip to lightly apply it around the inlays. Remove any excess liquid by tipping it over and wiping it away. Any dry areas that you missed will be easily visible. Wipe away any excess, re-string and tune it, and you're ready to wow the crowd with your incredible guitar skills.
It's lovely and simple to put together. I was worried that the design would be too flashy for a beginner guitarist, but it's actually quite subtle. It appeals to me. br>br>Use the sticky "transfer paper" to peel off the sticker, position it where you want it, and rub it onto the guitar neck. If it resurfaces, rub it in a more vigorous manner.
