They work great and each order is enough to do 2 or 3 guitars. I totally forgot I had this issues with these guitars until this thread popped back up. Highly recommended .

Wait a minute - I have to drill them in? These are guitars with neck binding and pressed/painted in dots.
You or someone else has to. They replace the dots that are already there- inlaid into the binding.

Or try and play with some cheap reading sunglasses first, maybe ask your optometrist for advice? You won't knock down the Les Paul' resale value after you took the drill to it and put a bit of a gypsy spin on it (some are particular about the resale value, I couldn't care less if it's my gigging workhorse). Besides you'll look more intelligent wearing them when riffing, bit like Al di Meola. And you'll still be able to peak at the that lady's bare top in the back, if you get multi-focal ones

That is why I had a Lutier do mine for me. He charged me $45 per guitar.

Imagine this except reading glasses...just no. Like anyone coming to see this gives a$#!t who Al DiMeola is? Just no...
thats awful! wtf did they do that for?
Well, I don't know. He said the finish started peeling off, and then called me to ask what to do. Now, the back of the neck was painted black (it is a Music Man SUB1), and the dots were in the side of the rosewood fretboard, not on the painted maple neck, so it shouldn't have anything to do with the paint. I was sort of stuck, and thought I could just finish the maple afterwards. But over a year later, I am just sort of sour on that guitar. It makes me mad to even see it.
Actually, this one isn't. It is poplar, and a really solid piece. Like 8lbs. My other Music Man (Silhouette Special) is just over 6lbs. And yes, he charged me full price. And charged me for extra time to sand the rest of the paint on the neck. I was sort of stuck. I could refuse to pay, but he had my guitar. So, I just covertly tell my story to people in my area who ask me my opinion on who to bring their guitars to.

It's not the "vision" it's the dark.
