Black Plastic Side Dot Rod Material for Guitar Fretboards

Premium Material for Professional Fretboard Markers

Our high-quality black plastic rod material provides the perfect solution for custom side dot markers on guitar and bass fretboards. Precisely manufactured to a consistent 2mm diameter, this versatile material gives luthiers, guitar builders, and repair professionals the ideal medium for creating professional-grade position markers along the neck edge.

Multiple Length Options to Suit Any Project

We offer a comprehensive range of length options to accommodate projects of any scale:

• 50mm: Ideal for small repairs or single instrument projects
• 100mm: Perfect for standard guitar neck applications
• 250mm: Suitable for multiple instrument builds
• 500mm: Excellent for workshop settings and frequent builders
• 1000mm: Best value for professional luthiers and repair shops

Easy Application Process

This material cuts cleanly with standard tools, allowing for precise sizing of individual dots. The deep black coloration provides sophisticated visibility against lighter fretboard edges like maple or ash, ensuring players can easily navigate positions even in varied lighting conditions. The material installs smoothly into pre-drilled holes using standard adhesives.

Essential Navigation Tool for Players

Side dots serve as crucial navigational markers for guitarists and bassists, providing instant visual reference for fret positions without requiring the player to look over the top of the fretboard. Our black plastic material offers elegant contrast against lighter tonewoods, remaining distinctly visible during performance while maintaining a sleek, professional aesthetic.

Superior Quality Construction

Unlike cheaper alternatives, our premium plastic material maintains consistent coloration throughout, ensuring that even with wear over time, the markers will retain their rich black appearance. The material is designed to resist fading and degradation from exposure to oils, sweat, and environmental factors.

Versatile Applications

While primarily designed for guitar and bass fretboards, this versatile material can also be utilized for:

• Custom inlay projects
• Position markers on other stringed instruments
• Small craft applications requiring precise black rod material
• Replacement markers for vintage instruments

Whether you're building a custom instrument from scratch, performing a restoration on a vintage piece, or simply replacing worn side dots on a favorite guitar, our premium black plastic side dot material provides the professional solution for beautiful, functional fretboard markers that complement lighter-colored instrument necks.
