Zman,

You can cut some small pieces of white tape and stick them on the tiny side marker dots to make them more visible, especially if you play in very dim light or at night, until you can hear where you are on the neck. They work real good and don't look that bad. Plus they are temporary.

I just got a new Fender Nashville tele. Honey Blonde, tex mex pups. Great guitar with an ash body. Sounds incredible. Not much more than a Mexican standard.
