Frequently asked questions.

Do they Affect tone?

Do They Leave Residue?

  1. Do they Affect Tone?

No. The decals are made from thin vinyl and sit on the fretboard between the frets, away from the vibrating portion of the strings. When properly installed, they do not affect your guitar’s tone, sustain, intonation or playability—you’ll simply get a completely new look.

2. Will the stickers damage my fretboard or leave residue ?

No. Our decals are made to be fretboard-safe and won’t harm the finish on your instrument or leave any residue.

3. How do I make sure the stickers fit my guitar?

Every set is custom-sized specifically for your instrument. Click Add to Cart, then enter your guitar or bass year, make and model, and number of frets in the instrument form. Add any other instrument details in the optional notes field. We use these details to account for its scale length, fret count and fretboard dimensions. We can accommodate standard guitars, basses, 7- and 8-strings, baritones, multiscale instruments and unusual fretboards. If we need any additional measurements, we’ll contact you before making your set.

4. Are the stickers reusable?

No. Our decals are designed for one-time application. Once removed, they cannot be reapplied.

5. Can I apply them myself?

Yes! You don’t need any special tools — just a clean fretboard.
Each set comes with step-by-step instructions.

6. What types of guitars do you support?

We support nearly any fretted guitar or bass, including electric, acoustic, classical, 6-string, 7- and 8-string, 12-string, baritone, short-scale, extended-range and multiscale instruments. Every decal set is custom-sized for your instrument’s exact make and model, so unusual scale lengths and fretboard dimensions are no problem. If we need any additional measurements, we’ll contact you before making your set.

7. How long will my order take to ship?

Every set is made to order. Please allow 3–5 business days for production before shipping,

11. How do I clean the fretboard with stickers on it?
