Yeah. It never really messed me up. When I would look down (while used to playing darker color fretboards) it would throw me off a little (not to the point where I would mess up).

You get used to it. Just keep playing it.

i had a maple board axe for the better part of 10 years (1987 rg 550dy) and it was my main axe. i had a fewe "throw away" guitars along the time i had the 550 and the other collored fretboards never bothered me. i always wanteda maple board with no inlays. my ltd sc207 has no inlays and i love the clean look of it.

I've noticed this when I played my RG2077 which has offset dots, + longer scale. You get used to it though. I'ts like making the transition from 6 to 7 strings.

Can you use the side dots? Then you can just glance down rather than wrenching your head around.

THIS!

You didn't mention that in your first post, so all we had to go by was what people usually do when they are looking at the fretboard. We had no way of knowing about your blurred eye and depth perception--that's a whole different story.
To remedy that, just do what you mentioned by practicing more to have a better feel of the fretboard. Another is to get some dark fret decals so they contrast for better clarity. Or, put dark decals over the side dots. This is probably your best bet.
While those lime green dots look really cool, I can see how they would pose a problem for blurred vision.
Here's another suggestion--trade me that 550 for my 550DX PN....LOL! Mine has black dots. You can keep your Pickguards and pickups.

I didn't mean to sound like a dick man sorry if that's how it came across. I was just joking around

So what's wrong with your 550DX PN that you want mine?

I took all the corny stickers off except for the pink Ibanez sticker on the headstock, so the fret markers are black dots again. I didn't really think about the blurry eye problem until I posted that, and was just thinking out loud more or less trying to figure out what the deal is. I've been playing off and on for the last 25 years and I've never had issues adjusting to a guitar like this before. The only real difference is the maple board. It's kinda weird that I've always had either rosewood or ebony fretboards on all my guitars without even really thinking about it.

I have a frankenstrat Fender project with a maple fretboard that I'm going to scallop the bottom frets on too, so I'll have a couple then.

I didn't realize the green dots were decals--thought someone put new inlays in.
