I had actually never realised that about the flasher. I wondered why Ace had a guitar with dots.
The pup area ends up higher than the perimeter of the guitar and the flat plastic face wont fit.

All LP Jrs are thinner Gibo or Epi so its needed on both, the UFO's differ they dont need the mod as the body is thick enough.

After the rountings been done it would be too thin as i need to house battery and electronics as well as the light board all inside.The LP Jr ends up 50mm thick so about the same as a regular Les Paul.
