...I meant side markers regarding the Turbulence, mind you -
I know, I was joking. this one actually has side markers. Well, some of 'em. Added at a later time. I think Leo said he did it by mistake.

The original idea was to f@#$#k me up as much as humanly possible. Or merely to make me rely on my ear. Like I said, I never know what certain notes are called on different days of the week. What was Ab yesterday is D# tomorrow. Oh well.
Btw, you sure they didn't put the side markers (sigh) underneath the red binding? That can't happen with the production guitar. On a lighter note, it's fairly easy for any competent luthier to put side markers at any time. I remember Leo repairing one of Vai's axes which positively had a light show in the fretboard. Talk about over the top.
The Bastartele (Tele Bastardo) above was my main instrument for many years and the first time I got re-introduced to fret inlays I was like, what's this then? I really dig guitars with no fret inlays all over the place. It became a distraction for yours truly. And it takes away from beautiful woods.
Case in point:

Can't even look at the fretboard while playing.
Much nicer IMO:
