I need to know is a Derby a 24 1/2" scale ? I need a fretboard I can see better, I may be the only one with this problem of not being able to see the markers in a dim lit area on the Derby f board.
Will a Rittenberry, Emmons, or Zum work?. Any help appreciated gents!!.Also anyone have some fer sale... |

| I believe that all of those you listed are 24 1/4" scale. You could have one printed up w just black and white? |

| Bill...The steel brands that you mentioned have similarly styled fretboards, so do not think that changing boards will solve your problem. You might try the suggestion that Chris posted, or small luminous stickers found in stationery stores may work also. |

Or the Gatton trick. Zircons. You can get tiny multi-colored stick-on Zircs at ang hobby.craft store. As Danny said, "They'll pick up the light of a candle across the Potomac."
Plus they look cool glittering on stage. |
