On the first CBG class I did I taped the reference letters on the sides of the necks I brought to the class. I originally saw them as temporary learning aids (like training wheels on a bike); classic 6-string guitar player mindset! When Marilyn (80 something) and Margaret (90 something) showed up at the library after taking my class and wanted to purchase guitars they made a point that they expected the letters on the neck too!!! Of course the answer was yes and I wood burned them on all the guitars from that point on. You are right Glenn; they are good for teaching and playing! The musical version of paint by numbers...
