That was really nice! You could always put little temporary dot stickers on the edge to help guide you. But, it sounds like your playing is just fine without!

I picked the Boogie Woogie up from John le Voi last month, and he did a superb job planing and refretting the fingerboard. It's playing well and is just the perfect rhythm guitar (though leads sound pretty good too). The DR tailpiece I put on it is coming off again, and in its place will be a copy of the original Di Mauro tear drop design. The original was very light and bendy aluminium, and all the string posts had ripped out sometime in the past. Killy Nonis is making me a fully functioning replica from brass. More expense, but it's a super guitar and I love it, and I feel it deserves a bit of attention. I've tried my Krivo Micro pickup placed just in front of the bridge, and it sounds great. I have no idea on the date of the guitar, but am assuming it's late 1940s.

Killy Nonis made me a beautiful brass replica of the original tailpiece (which was beyond repair) and it suits the guitar very well. I'm out of loop ends, so rather ugly ball ends will have to do for now.
What mic did you use to record this. Sounds really nice. Is that all acoustic or is there some sort of processing on it? Playing is fantastic and expressive.

Guitar sounds great!
p.s. Position markers are for losers 😎😉

A bit of China Boy to demonstrate the lovely tone
Sounds great!
Wow! Great tone and great playing!
