  1. Adjusting the height and poll pieces can really change the dynamics. And you can always put them back the way they were. Make sure to use the correct fit screw driver on those pole pieces. If you don't have one that fits well it's worth buying one. Nothing worst than scratching the pickup cover because of a sloppy fitting screw driver. The pickups in my DOT are great after some adjustment. Still can't believe the great price of an Epi DOT.
  2. The SG....to me, the ultimate solid body guitar. That one is especially fine.
  3. I had a beautiful Casino Sunburst from the peerless era and it was great. But, I'm very impressed with most of the Epiphones I've ran in last few years. Great guitars tight build quality, feel great, sound great...just do a good set up and play!
  4. Pretty much what milod said. The Pelham blue is super nice but I think the Cherry finish on the DOT is just about as good as it gets. I love the cream binding too with the Cherry. You can't go wrong with an Epi DOT - in any color - it got to be the best bang for the buck - hands down. I sold both of my 335's and one was a Cherry. The Epi just feels better to me.
  5. Anyone thinking about changing their Epi DOT Pickups should try adjusting the height on their stock PUs. I was amazed at how nice the stock units sound if tweeked. I used a Gibson ES 335 w/ 57' classics through a Blackface Vibrolux for comparison. After doing some adjusting on the stock units in the Epi DOT I was absolutely amazed how great they respond to some minor adjustment. I actually found that I like the stock units tone and dynamics in this particular Epi Dot better than the ES 335 pickups in the Gibson. And I really like the tone of the Stock 57's in the Gibson. Worth a try on your DOT if you haven't already.
