What are the inlays for on a guitar?

Guitar fret inlays, sometimes called fretboard markers, are often circular dots. When they're spaced out across the neck of the guitar, the classical design serves as a visual aid to guide your hands toward the correct note. In other words, guitar inlays tell you which fret you're playing if you look at the neck.

Can you put inlays on a guitar?

One of the coolest and easiest mods to do on your guitar is replace the inlays. ... It's better to have a neck with no frets and (quite possibly, no finish) on it, but if you are replacing inlays on your existing neck, then go slow and be careful not to mess up your frets with the various tools you'll be using.

Is it hard to play a guitar without inlays?

no it is not hard to play. I dont find it difficult at all. I own two guitars without inlays, and I'm still just an early intermediate player. They each have dots on the side though which are more than enough IMO to find where you are going.
