jamie-t Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 So I've decided to go ahead and get a Dot and customize it. In the photo it's stock but eventually it's going to have p94's and a frequensator tailpiece. I'm also posting a picture of my Epi LP Prophecy, I didn't like the dirty fingers pups it came with so I switched them for a classic 57 in the neck and a 498T in the bridge(has made it sound 10 times better). I run these through a Vox AC30 with various effects now and then. edit - a lot of people think the prophecy series is strictly metal, but if you switch the pickups they are just really well built epiphone les pauls. and Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie brown Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Nice Jamie-T... The way your Dot is hanging, it looks like the neck is twisted, slightly toward the left, or upper part of the body. I'm sure, though, it's an optical illusion...or, you'd know it! LOL! Anyway...nice guitars! CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamie-t Posted February 2, 2009 Author Share Posted February 2, 2009 After you posted that I rushed to check it out and make sure it's straight, which it is haha. I love it as it is so far, haven't even gotten to play it out of the AC30 yet, but I'll get to at band practice tomorrow. Comparing it to the quality of my les paul you can definitely see why it was cheaper. It's just little things like finish quality really (fret board has a knick or two, volume/tone knobs aren't perfectly symmetrical). Playability is all there though, as soon as I do the pup swap it'll be hot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midiman56 Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Wow! So you didn't care for the Dirty Fingers, huh? Personally, I love them, but I have to admit that the covered pickups sure do look sharp on that guitar! I'm curious, how did changing the pup's effect the coil tap feature? Nice work ... and I agree that the Prophecy LP is an extremely well put together guitar. MIDI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamie-t Posted February 2, 2009 Author Share Posted February 2, 2009 I think it's because my music style changed drastically, now I played a lot of stuff that just uses very light overdrive and the dirty fingers are too hot for me. As for the coil tap, my bridge pickup (498T) had the correct wires for the coil tapping to work with it, my neck pickup (57 classic) didn't, so when i pull out the knob on the bridge pickup I get a decent single coil sound but when I switch to neck pickup or both there is no sound at all. I suppose in a way it could be used as a killswitch or do some interesting things with feedback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWANG Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Those both look sharp. I like the dots in natural to have something going on in the wood and yours is sweet. I like that prophecy, too.. too many tempatations from epiphone! TWANG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IntelligentAl Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Wow, the Dot really does look good in natural. I think if I had to choose my favourite finish on a dot, it would be a tie between natural and vintage sunburst. They just look good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcooper830 Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Congrats on that! I hope you're able to enjoy that guitar for many years to come! I love my Natural DOT!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
