[Rhodes22-list] Boat Lettering Size?

[Mary Lou Troy]

Sheldon,
Fretless has 5 " lettering and it is visible. 6" would also be ok. The one 
thing I didn't do when we had ours done was pay enough attention to the 
spacing between the letters. If I ever have to do it over  (and I may not- 
they look brand new 5 years later) I'd spread them out a little further. 
See pic attached.
