I use a hole punch and some veneer scraps. I also use the inside spike of pop rivets(after using those for string openings) for nice side dot markers.
I was also paging through an old grizzly catalogue with all these nice photos of rare woods -I bet you could cut some holes out of those too. While your add it make some fake veneer for your headstock!
Just apply with modge podge.
I've also heard people using:
guitar picks
credit cards (only good use for these!)
anyone try old cds yet?
Anything else we can use???

I use plastic combs for nuts and bridges.
The teeth from the comb make excellent side dot markers.
That's a great idea. I was looking at plastic hangers and wood/metal pant hangers for similar parts.

I use toothpicks and wooden meat skewers for side dot markers.
Someone also suggested useing a pencil sharpener to sharpen a contrasting piece of wood then drill a hole in the side of the finger board and force the pointy bit in then cut it off.
Most often I just use a wood burner and don't worry too much about the shape or pattern. Most recently I used a flat, chisel tip and just made a # sign at each location, then a tiny round tip to mark the top side of the neck.
