Uncle John, I appreciate your input. The Guy I built this for asked for a "relic" look so after I had everything put together perfectly I beat up the edges with a file and sander so that spot below the F hole was one I created on purpose. I'm glad you like it. As far as the fret markers go, I like the look of a clean fret board. What you don't see is that I put silver brads into the top of the neck at the 3rd, 5th, 7th,10th and 12th frets marking the pentatonic scale.
Beautiful. I like it so much, I an gonna tell you what I think would improve it. I hope I don't offend. Box end - perfect like it is. That rough spot below the f hole? Leave it be, it looks great.
Hmm. Not much I would do. I like fret markers - like cut or drawn across the fret board (like frets) at the 3rd, 5th, 7th and 12th. Makes it easier to play and I think it would look better.

Good deal, Bill. I figured you had side markers. Yep. On second look that clean fret board looks good. I do play better with the top markers.
