Cut to the exact pattern used on vintage 1950s instruments, they're the correct position markers for any period-accurate build or restoration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eLike our trapezoid inlays, these are made from genuine cellulose nitrate by Mazzucchelli — the original Italian material house that supplied Gibson in the 1950s. We went straight to the source to bring back the real material, formulated to the exact spec of the era. That's what lets these dots do what modern ABS and acrylic can't: age and settle over time, exactly the way the originals do, because it \u003cem\u003eis\u003c\/em\u003e the original material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eRetroSpec inlays are 0.070″ thick, with the pattern running all the way through the material to allow for proper sanding during installation. We've refined the color to the correct hue for an authentic vintage look right out of the package, and each dot is laser cut with ultra-smooth edges for a clean drop-in fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThis is more than just a dot set — it's the material-correct upgrade that brings your fingerboard closer to true vintage spec.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eMaterial: Genuine cellulose nitrate by Mazzucchelli (original 1950s Gibson supplier)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eColor: Vintage ivory\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eDiameter: 1\/4\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eThickness: 0.070″\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003ePattern: Runs through full thickness for sanding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eCut: Laser cut with ultra-smooth edges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eQuantity: 12 dots per set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eCompatibility: Les Paul Junior, Les Paul Special, ES-335, ES-225, Explorer, Flying V, and more\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eThis set includes 12 dots.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:align-top\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e*Please allow 3–5 business days for shipping.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"RetroSpec","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53428350746990,"sku":"DOTINLAYS","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0983\/5482\/3534\/files\/RetroSpecParts4-25-2600444.jpg?v=1777557087","url":"https:\/\/retrospecvintageparts.com\/products\/retrospec-exclusive-series-cellulose-nitrate-fingerboard-dot-inlays","provider":"RetroSpec Vintage Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
