10th fret inlay

[doctor fred]

i just bought a very old acoustic guitar from a car boot sale and most of it looks normal except that one of the inlays is on the 10th fret (all of the others are in the normal place)
it says 'audition' on the headstock and the seller told me it was from the 60's
it looks as though someone has tried to rub it off as it is far more worn that the other inlays
just wondered if anyone can help

either dont play any thing on the 10th fret or adapt it to another fret/string or pay to get
it replaced and if u replace one might as well replace all

dont look at it? lol i dunno, some people play with blank fretbaords so im sure its easy once you get used to it, but personally i would draw over the inlay or put a sticker the same color as the fretboard on it or something

5 String banjos have position markers on the 10th fret rather than the 9th. Dunno why, but they are all like that. Get used to it and it won't bother you a bit.

Can ya post a pic, and just what sort of help do ya need?

Just color it in and put something on the 9th fret instead.

He ain't around any more. He made that one post, waited five minutes for a response, and hasn't been back since. That was over a month ago.

I actually like the tenth fret marker on the banjo. For whatever reason, I find it easier to get to, especially when your eyes are on the sheet in front of you. There have been countless times when I nailed the chord or progression that starts at 9/10 but have failed to do so on the guitar many times.
It's a peculiar oddity but it works.
