JayGLongBeach Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Hi Everyone! After seeing Lerxst's mods on his Dot... Recently purchased this new dot at GC for 3 bills- didn't even gig or plug in- just went straignt into surgery: New bone nut; vingtage kluson style tuners; vintage black knobs, and gloss cased GFS Mean 90's... Sounds amazing... Also attached pics of Sheraton- Just got my Grover Imperials courtesy of our very own TWANG!!! Thanks, man! They came in today and took all of 10 minutes to put 'em on! Thanks for the GAS and inspiration guys! Jay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brad1 Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Excellent job with the Dot mods Jay. She looks really sweet!! And the tuners look great on the Sheraton! Gives it a real classy look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron G Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Really like the Dot - especially the Mean 90s which are just like mine. How 'bout a black bridge and tailpiece? The Sheraton is to die for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcwillow777 Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Nice job Jay. I really like the Green Keys, it looks great. The Imperials on the Sherry really adds a touch of class. I left the Rotomatics on mine, but I added some pearloid step knobs like your Imperials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Recycled Rocker Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 YAHOOOOOO what sweet looking guitars, very nice job on the Dot. Love em................ todayisagoodin.. RR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
byrds1965 Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Really nice. The black PUs remind me of a 330 Ric I had in solid red with the black hardware package and black higains. Was just talking to a buddy today about Gibsons as he knew me as a Ric guy. Took a 68 335 with a bigsby in trade for one of my Rics and it was all downhill for Rics and on to Gibsons and later Epiphones from then on.

sunriver Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Nice job Jay! I have a Dot that I am thinking of modding similar to yours. I have a couple of questions: Is the guitar made in China or Indonesia, and if so did you have to modify the hole size for the tuners? Did you need the bushings to make the Klusons fit right? Did you need to change the pots when you changed the tone/volume knobs, or did they fit on the original pot shafts? The Sheraton looks great with the new tuners! Thanks for the reply.

charlie brown Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Good Job, Jay!! Cool!! Love the "Stair-step" tuner buttons on the Sheri! I did that same thing, to my "USA" Sheri, some time ago. Love the look... How does the Dot sound, now? More "Midrange" and clarity? CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's always great to find something that really "works," you know? Oh BTW...I was in Colorado Springs, visiting family, over the "Fourth," and a bit beyond...so, didn't have access to my computer! But, it's good to be back! Thanks... CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lerxst1281733995 Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Ya done me proud, Jay! Maybe you can get Twang to make you a 335 PG to fit the Dot, now that he's had the practice making mine... (You did save the template, didn't you Twang??) Those imperials look great on the Sherry too! Those should come stock.. Welcome back CB! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
