    Anybody know the fret dot size on ES-1G?

    Hey all.
    I've decided to replace the fret dots with abalone on an upcoming project. Anybody know the fret dot size on an ES-1G?

    Pretty sure they're a standard 6mm diameter.

    Hi Jeff, as Pabs says think they are 6mm but if you have a 1/4" (6.35mm) brad point drill just order 6.35mm (1/4") abalone markers.

    Wot the guys sed

    I always buy twice as many dots as required, this way I can match them and have spares for the inevitable cockup.

    There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....
