FAQs
Will these stickers affect my guitar's sound?
No, due to their super-thin PET material, these stickers are not expected to affect your guitar's tone or playability.
How long do the stickers typically last?
Longevity depends on usage. With careful application and normal playing, they can last a significant time. Heavy wear or improper care may shorten their lifespan.
Can I reuse the stickers after removing them?
While they are designed to be removable without residue, they are generally intended for single application and may lose their adhesive quality if reapplied.
Are these suitable for left-handed guitars?
Yes, the application is position-based on the fretboard, so they can be applied to guitars for both right-handed and left-handed players.
What is the material of the stickers?
The stickers are made from PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate), which is a durable and thin plastic material.
Can I cover up my existing fret markers with these?
Yes, the stickers are designed to cover existing dot markers on your fretboard, allowing you to change the visual appearance.
Troubleshooting
Sticker won't adhere properly or has bubbles.
Ensure the fretboard is completely clean and dry before application. Try to gently lift and reapply the sticker, smoothing from the center outwards. A credit card can sometimes help smooth out small bubbles.
Sticker is difficult to remove.
Gently heat the sticker with a hairdryer on a low setting for a few seconds. This can soften the adhesive, making it easier to peel off slowly and carefully.
Adhesive residue left on the fretboard.
Most residue can be removed with a soft cloth and a small amount of guitar polish or isopropyl alcohol (test in an inconspicuous area first). Wipe gently.
