It really doesn’t get in the way once you get used to it.
Not everyone had issues but that was the reason. It went from occasionally being a problem to never being with the new design.Having played an original Custom 24 for lots of years (without issue) when the change happened
it was something I could never get comfortable with, nor have I ever come across any long term data
backing up the stability explanation.
Late 80s short heel still doing fine in 2009 at a band reunion set back east.
Apologies for the corny photo fx - it's all I got from the night.

I never thought about that, but I could see how that would be very true.it’s disorienting to look at while playing
It sure as hell does when you're used to it NOT being there. <cough> Majesty <cough cough>It really doesn’t get in the way once you get used to it.

I was even thinking about starting a thread asking who uses their side markers routinely, cuz I have to see the ones on the board. My old eyes don't even see the side dots. I probably couldn't even play a guitar w/o them (the ones on the fretboard.)
Never tried one, but I think I'd have trouble with large position shifts. Maybe...I go off of side dots. I love me a blank board, although I haven't had one in years
I have had a few and you would be surprised. It the side dots are good you will be fine. The worst is my Selmar style acoustic with the traditional position of a dot at the 10th instead of 9th. It drives me nuts.Never tried one, but I think I'd have trouble with large position shifts. Maybe...
Is there some traditional reason why it's like that or is this some weird factory defect?I have had a few and you would be surprised. It the side dots are good you will be fine.

That and a single dot at 12.![]()
That’s how original Selmers are. The logic is the dot is on the D instead of a sharp.Is there some traditional reason why it's like that or is this some weird factory defect?
That would drive me crazy enough to try to move the fret markers to their right places.
In fairness to Paul private stock guitars have not risen in price anything like other premium bands. It another year or two they might even look reasonable.
Now this, OTOH, is magnificent! 15 grand magnificent...? Eh, maybe, if I had 100 in savings and my retirement was set.![]()

Damn, this thread has got me missing the old Custom 24 a TON!
Found another pic from 2009.
