<p>I like the rustic look of wood burnt fret markers....they don't have to be perfect. Just adds to the look</p>

<p>A deck screw heated with a torch makes a great fret marker... As does any other round flatish thing... :-)</p>

<p>This is how we do it in Colorado...<br/><br/>Mountain peaks are major frets (3, 5, 7, 9///) Pine trees are minor frets. </p>

<p>I agree with taffy, learning on some scrap is the best way? It takes a little to get it right. Make sure it’s hot enough before you start. I use a speed square for the fret lines, also there are specialty tips of different shapes that make the markers pop.</p>

<p>I purchased a wood burning pen expressly for marking frets. Once I found the correct tip, it looked good. I have to say that it is a bit tedious since any wobble creates a permanent mark. A good straight edge can help. Also, I found that lightly block sanding after the frets are burned in, helps to create a crisp line. Good luck and share photos.</p>
