Dot on the Way, and have a Few Questions


Roswell

Recommended Posts

Hello all,

 

After my last thread, I was recently offered a used Epiphone Dot. Upon inspection, it's in great shape (less than a year old, pics when I get it if anyone is interested, nice cherry finish -- it should get here Friday-ish, very excited as it's my first Epi and my first semi-hollow), but I have a few questions.

 

Now, I usually play classic rock - Beatles type stuff. Someone suggested I switch the pickups to P-94s (humbucker size P-90 likes) and that I add a Bigsby tailpiece. Thoughts?

Wait and see. You don't even have the guitar, for God's sake. Take a while to see

how you like it as is before you consider a pickup change.

Everyone has a "opinion," but yours is the only one that counts, for you!

Play it, some here like the original pickups, others want something else...

but put it through it's paces, for some time, before even thinking about

changing pickups. If you've ever watched "Concert for George," you'll

see a boat load of great players, playing George's "Beatles" songs, with

every kind of guitar...and it all sounds wonderful! So, you can get any

sound you want, with a little work. Only George used the bigsby, on

occasion. So, if you're going to use it, for other stuff, great. Otherwise,

you won't really need it, for "Beatles" stuff. They do look nice, though.

LOL!
