What's with the numbering system?

It goes 15, 16, 19, 21 at two fret intervals.

Look again Kym, 16 is actually 17, the second "I" is hidden by the B string :wink:

Nice to hear in church but not in a Mexican prison.

See, funny you mention that, as on this guitar, they are correct, yet later on I used the same lettering to do this board for my Redwood acoustic build, but somehow one of the digits got erased: ghost in the machine (which stupid me didn't realize until after I'd finished the inlay and stepped back to pat myself on the back.

So I fixed the G-code so to include the digit again and ran another board:

Again, the machine had skipped that digit! It left the space for it, but it's just not there! I checked the CAD. It was there. I checked the CAM. It was there. Ghost in the machine. So I added it in afterwards.

Same guitar as above but with the strings hiding the detail:
