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.
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.
3. Using a file or sandpaper, make the edge of
the neck flush with the edge of the finger-
board.
