carnage Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Hi Guys, I bought my first Epiphone and i am really loving the feel and the build is really great. My question is i love playing the 60s to 80s rock n roll Rythem and Lead. What would be the better pickups for this type of genre? Your help is much appreciated and PS the neck just feels so awesome on this DOT :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6string Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Congratulations on the new guitar, Dot's are nice. If you've tried all you can with the stock pickups and still don't like them, I'd look at '57 Classics if you want to stick with humbuckers. I'm pretty partial to P90's. There are several options out there for HB sized P90 style pickups that would swap out easily too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parabar Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Before messing with changed pickups, what amp are you using? That can make more of a difference to your sound than pickups, either by changing your settings or changing your amp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tx-ogre Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 I have a Gibson ES-335 Dot Re-Issue with '57 Classics. I really like them. I play mostly classic rock and blues on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis G Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Congrats and welcome to the Dot club. I bought mine 8 years or so ago. After playing it for a year, I had SD Classics installed (along with a total rewire, new pots, switches, etc.) Totally different guitar from a sound standpoint after the mods. Much brighter, crisper, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carnage Posted December 7, 2016 Author Share Posted December 7, 2016 Thanks guys, All i am only using is the Roland Cube 20x. I plan on buying another decent amp with my Christmas bonus. Currently i dont have any pedals as well so using built in effects of the amp. I havent played in a really long time and need to start jamming again.

Cougar Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 I bought my first Epiphone and i am really loving the feel and the build is really great. Welcome to the boards, carnage. Dot was my first Epiphone too. Super guit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dukex Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 I installed SD Antiquities in mine, along with a BCS ES335 Vintage wiring kit. Turned a good guit into a great guit for 1/4 the cost of a Gibby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis G Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 All i am only using is the Roland Cube 20x. I plan on buying another decent amp with my Christmas bonus. About the only thing I used my Roland for these days is to play jam tracks that I can play along with. My "go to" amp for most of my guitars is my Blues Jr. As always, YMMV and I'm sure you'll get several opinions. I'd suggest hitting your local music shop and trying out as many as you can and decide what's best for you. My two cents anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revolution Six Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Gibson P-94 or Classic '57 will be perfect. Don' t forget to install good quality pots and a Switchcraft switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExPatBrit Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 I have a Classic 57 in the neck and a Burstbucker (2 I think) in the bridge, makes for a great combo. They're actually both coiltapped off the volume pot, which I was surprised I've both liked and ended up using a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
