Now those side markers better be there, and not blend in with the binding, or i'm gonna have trouble at a darkly lit gig.
fwiw.

What do you think? - Can’t we have both? - Why not?

Extra prima good, Mr. Coleman, Sir.
Looking good, Billy Ray.
Feeling good, Louis.

This certainly looks like Jimmy Bruno, the guitar looks like a Benedetto, and it appears to have large fretboard markers.
ISTR seeing one of Jimmy's videos in which he mentions insisting on markers, but I'm too lazy to go through all of them right now.

I am friends with Jimmy. Because he does a bunch of in person and online instruction, he likes to have fretboard position indicators on his guitars. It makes it easier when teaching.

Jimmy no longer plays that Benedetto. Jimmy plays a Bill Comins archtop.

Philipe Catherine definitely needs his side dots:

I just got up off my big fat arse, and took a look at the fingerboards on my two Borys guitars.
Just like his Master, Jimmy D'AQ- no fingerboard markers!

Been playing classical recently and realise that I basically navigate the fretboard via a small dent around the fifth fret.
give me a brand new guitar and I would suck even worse haha

No markers on my Eastman 503ce, but it does have side dots. It doesn't bother me. I like the clean look.

Jimmy Bruno is no longer even mentioned on the Benedetto website, at least in the players section. I haven't done a thorough search for photos, but he seems to no longer be a Benedetto player at all, even though they did some extensive repair work on his guitar, apparently for free. He's been playing the Comins for a couple of years at least.

Makes it a PITA to erase it all on the last night, but I get called back.
