Can somebody provide me the measurements for the fretboard markers and measurements as to their location on the fretboard? Thanks, Kevin

do you mean the side dot markers, or the markers on the fretboard itself? I could measure the markers on my johnny model if you need me to.

Mainly the fretboard dots on the fretboard. The size of them and the spacing of them.

OK, I'll jump in here. They seem to get further apart as you go up the neck.

The dot itself is 1/16th of an inch round.

On the third fret, they measure a little over 7/8th's apart center to center. I don't have 32nds on this tape measure, but it would be 29/32nd's if I did. (the second dot falls between 7/8ths and 15/16ths.

On the fifth fret they are a little over 15/16th's apart. But again it looks more like 31/32nds (between 15/16th's and on inch).

The seventh fret is one inch and 1/32nd of an inch (center to center).

The ninth fret is the same as the seventh.

At the twelfth fret they're 9/16ths apart, and the rest are centered.

So I guess you can but them anywhere from 7/8ths to an inch apart and you'll be fine.

The twelfth fret was a little odd, the spacing between the first dot and the center dot was about a 1/16th of an inch wider than the spacing from the center dot to the third dot. But over all this along with Aaron's potos should get you where you need to be.
