Damn birds

[Moondog Wily]

Enough of this serious decor. How about something a bit more lighthearted?

Why not Donald Duck, Daffy Duck, Tweety Bird, Road Runner, Zazu, Woodstock, The Penguin, The Raven, Big Bird, and Cock Claudius on fretboards?

Fantastic idea! A LTD run!! Maybe call it CRT Birdwatchers LTD!!!

The dots actually have little birds engraved in them, but no one notices.

Thank you for triggering my OCD!

The other guitar player in my band hates my birds. He says he can never figure out what I'm doing when he looks over.

I love this. If he knew how to play the songs, it wouldn't matter. I have had the occasional comment like this.

If you have a torso like Johnny Hiland and wear the guitar on top of your chest like he does....you see the fretboard.

And if you have a gut like mine and wear the guitar low, you only see the back of the guitar. Well, part of it.

Those numbers should be rotated 180 degrees or at least 90). The audience doesn't need to read them - I do.

At least the roman numerals on Entwistle's bass were legible to the person who needed them most.

I Like Birds And It Seems Odd To Me To Have A PRS Guitars And Not Have Birds Although I Have A Few . Regarding Hand Placement, I Just Place My Hands Wherever Feels Right On The Neck To Get My Signature Out Of Tune/Key Sound. Since I Am Tone Deaf, When I Hear Myself Sound Worse Than Usual I Just Bend Until It Sounds Better Or A String Breaks. If Anybody Gives Me A Funny Look Or Says Anything I Just Tell Them I Am Working On A New Genre Called Metal Jazz. It Will Catch On Soon...I Just Know It!

No issue for me. While I wouldn't have gotten a PRS withOUT birds, I don't notice them while I'm playing... birds or dots, same to me... just so long as there is SOMETHING there as I am traversing the fretboard.

NO markers would be a huge issue for me, even with side dots.

I also don't see the back of the guitar, and only see the front of the thing when taking it out of the case.

Taking a good look at a guitar booty is my guilty pleasure

I have birds & moons and I don't notice the difference that much. Although I do look down at the neck a lot, I've made it a habit to play by feel and keep my head upright as much as possible. My back/neck problems dictate this, might have been a contributing factor over the years of playing. It's challenged me to understand the neck differently, but it get's easier the more you do it.
Now because of this approach I find a different scale length to throw me off much more, and I even play slightly differently when I play the one shorter scale guitar I have. It even takes me a little time to mentally adjust and not be hitting wrong notes.

Our kids would love this!

Nar, the number orientation is for your other guitar player, so they can figure out what you're doing.
