Dots (fretboard markers) are placed every 4 frets in a cycle of single-double-triple. So, the 4th fret has a single dot, the 8th fret has double dots, the 12th fret has triple dots, and then the 16th fret is back to single, and so on. Thus, a 36-fret guitar has 18 dots on 9 frets, and a 41-fret guitar has 19 dots on 10 frets. | Dots (fretboard markers) are placed every 4 frets in a cycle of single-double-triple.

The small dots on the side of the neck follow the same single/double/triple pattern. The double and triple dots are oriented like the usual 12-equal double dots. Further up the neck, the triple dots are too wide to fit between the frets, but this is not a problem. | |||
