Belated NGD: Starry Night Majesty

[agt]

NGD was actually about a week ago, but I did not have time to take photos. So, technically, this did not exist until just now!

Nice, congrats!!

But what's with the dots on the fretboard?

My eyesight is not what it used to be, especially my near vision. I found that the small dots on the side edge of the fingerboard were hard for me to to see. For basic playing sticking to a single position or connecting scale forms in adjacent positions, it was not an issue, but for situations where I had to quickly jump across the fingerboard by larger intervals, I was finding that I was off by one fret more than occasionally.

I tried some of these

Inlay Stickers – They look like REAL inlay! For Guitar and Bass, Ukulele more…

They are adhesive and can be removed. The "mother of pearl" look contains blue which actually looks good with the starry night finish. The dots come in 3 different sizes and I used the smallest. Not much of an improvement for my eyes, bit they help a bit. I may try even larger dots. I'm not sure if I will keep them on there long term.

I so love this PDN run... what a fabulous finish & neck combo!!
That looks soooooo sweet!

btw, I've tried the 'inlay stickers' and they work surprisingly well!

Why does the Majesty have Inlay Dots on the Fretboard, when the other Starry Night Models have no Inlays except Side Dots?
