Position Marks

The position mark holes have been predrilled into the side of the fingerboard.

To install the position marks:

1.Place a small drop of glue in each position mark hole.

2.Slide the end of the position mark stick into a hole and use a sharp knife to cut it flush with the fingerboard. Note—Sand the position marks flush with the fingerboard edge.

Fingerboard to Neck

To attach the fingerboard to the neck:

1.Using a straightedge, make sure the neck and body surface are flush.

2.Using rubber bands and small sticks of wood, secure the fingerboard to the neck with a thin, even layer of wood glue (Figure 7). Note—Make sure the fingerboard is cen- tered across the width of the neck and that the 14th fret is centered over the neck to body joint.
