THE NECK OF MY STRAT IS MADE OF MAPLE AND ALSO THE FINGERBOARD, I NOTICE SOMETHING DIFFERENT IN MY BLACK DOT INLAYS ON MY FRETBOARD, IT LOOKS LIKE A STICKER BUT IT`S NOT

HERE IS THE PIC OF WHAT I AM SAYING DIFFERENT IN MY DOT INLAY AT 7TH FRET

AND THE REST OF MY INLAYS ARE NORMAL LIKE THIS

A "defective " dot material ?

It looks like a fisheye :mrgreen:

Maybe it´s the filler.

Cheers,
Robin

yeah, lucky 7 but definitely for me, it`s weird XD, i wish this is only a sticker

yeah..., I'd get that checked before it spreads. :roll:

Nice, one of a kind.

To me it looks like the fingerboard finish is lifting off the dot. As Minnesotastrats says - get it checked out before it spreads further.

so, what does it means, do you guys have this too?

Back in the '70s when Fender used a albalone like inlay, you would get the same effect. If I look close at my '79 Strat you can see see the same thing. At a distance you don't notice.

just name it fish eye :wink:

if it was aquamarine that would be even better :lol:

I also think it is the finish lifting off the dot. it is possible that one dot was slightly recessed and had some oil or residue on it prior to finishing. it can be repaired but its probably not worth the trouble unless your the obsessive compulsive type :wink:

She is one of a kind, that is great.
And by the way, if you don´t keep watching - SHE will :shock:

Seriously, if the dot is stable and doesn´t come off it would be ok for me.

Cheers,
Robin
