Turqouise position markers.

I used MOP dots, but a few were too low once I started to sand them. I noticed that some holes were a tad off of center. The brad point bit, didn't work too well. The brad point bit can wonder if the tip starts to drill on a grain line. On the very first guitar I made, I used a 1/4" router bit in a small drill press to drill the holes. Those came out perfect. Once I removed the MOP dots, I used the router bit technique again and installed fake turquoise dots. That's the way to make the holes from now on. The router bit goes in regardless of grain. They weren't perfectly round, so I had to do a little sanding first. They were just right. Draw a white line and eyeball the bit as it makes the hole.
