Mother of pearl fret marker dots are small, decorative inlays used on the fretboard of guitars and other stringed instruments to mark specific frets. They are made from thin slices of mother of pearl, which is a naturally iridescent material that comes from the inside of certain types of mollusc shells. Mother of pearl is prized for its beauty and durability and is commonly used in the manufacture of musical instruments and other luxury items. When used as fret marker dots, the iridescent material adds a touch of elegance to the instrument, while also providing a functional tool for the player to quickly locate specific frets while playing. Mother of pearl fret marker dots are typically installed at specific frets, such as the 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th, and 12th frets, and can be a cosmetic upgrade to the instrument or a functional aid for the player.
