Do you have any links for purchasing luminescent paint ?

They do make luminescent nail polish. Easy to find in a beauty supply store like ULTA.

What is ULTA ? Do they supply to Europe (Germany) ?

Sorry, it's a chain of beauty stores in America. I would try a local nail salon. I bet they would have it.

Ok, thanks. May be I'm asking stupid questions but as a 59yo male my experience with nail shops is very limited. I guess I'll check with some of my female friends.

Great idea. And I'm 60, my wife helps me out.

I will say this, tonight is the first night I have played my M5 since I had the dots painted. There is a huge difference. Nail polish is typically shiny. The white dots seem to sparkle in the light. I think this is going to work very well.

My 2nd Gen V3 is 8.4 lbs confirmed by multiple scales.

Scales are all relative )

I'd like to find a wiring harness for my V5 that is as "drop-in" as possible and I'm having trouble finding definitive information... so...

1. Is the hole pattern/shape of the control plate 'standard' sized. My fingers are crossed for a yes on this because then I could get a solderless system pre-loaded...

or the other option

2. What is the diameter of the pot shafts, as in will I have to do some drilling on the plate

Thanks to anybody who can help me out, I'm in a spot where I have limited resources for building/repair/...even measurement, so all help is appreciated

Something I did and it is a $1.50 investment is to go to the Dollar Store and get clear gloss nail polish and put a dab on each fret marker. Just by playing and the light in the room you will always see a reflection very easily. They also have glow in the dark nail polish, so that works, too. I find the clear is the least intrusive and does the trick.

EDIT : Duh, if I had just looked up I would've seen @Rod Barchetta suggesting the same thing.

Not as cheap, but I once used dots from a silver paint-pen... though the clear nail polish sounds pretty good

NBD!! I've wanted a V5 for awhile. Sweetwater is finally selling their shelf models

I love how Sire has a lighter level of roast for the FB depending on the body color. Classy of them
