Just restringing my nylon acoustic for the first time since I bought it, probably 7-8 years ago, and it occurred to me it doesn’t have fret markers. A casual browse of classical guitars in some of the on-line shops show most of them don’t have fret markers.
Just musing as to why?
Tim.

hi tim ,probably the same reason that violins etc don't .they are expected to be played by trained musos who don't need dots and chalk marks unlike us electric guitar yobs !!see that vid on making burns guitars, when the plummy,BBC sounding guy doing the voiceover says on seeing the frets being put in says"just as if they were real musical instruments"
