John1281734170 Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 The boss, (you know who that is) said "go ahead and order it". Well, my b-day is next week so I ordered a Cherry Dot 335. There was one here in town, but the finish was kind of blah. The one in the pic on Sweetwater's site had nice grain showing through the finish. It's supposed to be the actual guitar. So, in a few days I'll have the report on it..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianh Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Nice. After that blue Dot that Barrysrq posted, I'm starting to gas heavily for another Dot. And not a black one. I do like that Sweetwater posts pics of the actual guitar. If Musician's Friend did that, I'd prolly have bought a VSB Casino from them by now. Post pics or it doesn't exist...

jcwillow777 Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Congrats. Sweetwater is a great company to deal with, what you see is what you get. Their customer service is second to none. I have a cherry Dot and I love mine. The wait is always a killer, but it will be worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swoop Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Cherry is the obligatory colour for a Dot in my opinion. There's a nice one hanging on the wall at my local store, such beautiful grain on it. Be sure to post some pics when you get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1281734170 Posted October 20, 2009 Author Share Posted October 20, 2009 Yep, one of the guys over at fendertalk recommended Sweetwater. They actually check the guitar before it goes out too. I'll surely post some pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis G Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Congrats on the Dot. I've bought a couple of guitars from Sweetwater and they're the best. Great customer service/follow up, etc. Pix, please.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanH Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 The one in the pic on Sweetwater's site had nice grain showing through the finish. It's supposed to be the actual guitar. Did you note the serial number to make sure, John? Congrats also. I'd love one of those babies myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1281734170 Posted October 21, 2009 Author Share Posted October 21, 2009 Man, I wish I would have though of that. I'll know if it has the general type of grain when I see it. I looked at it for a couple of weeks. If it has no, or very little grain showing, then I'll be suspicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leicester35 Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 In my experience, Sweetwater always send you the guitar you ordered in the photograph. So don't worry John, just look forward to your new guitar. When I lived in the US for a year or so, I found Sweetwater and American Musical Supply to be by far and away the best online music companies.

7C Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 I know Cherry is the correct colour for a Dot so I bought a black one. I got it to match my Les Paul Standard, like anything else black (cars etc) it is a task to keep clean and you cannot hide scratches - but I love it. All my guitars are solid colours but I like to think one day I wil find a nice burst out there. 7C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcooper830 Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 You ordered the one I had in my Sweetwater shopping cart!! And it was the last one!! Cause now it says its not in stock. You bought it out from under me!! Dammit! Actually....... I don't have the $$ for it right now anyway. Congrats! I hope it arrives to you safe and sound and you're able to enjoy it for many years to come! : ) . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1281734170 Posted October 22, 2009 Author Share Posted October 22, 2009 Dang, coop. Sorry 'bout that. Yeah, I knew I'd better grab it, being the last one. They had three several weeks ago. I'm looking forward to owning a sweet hollowbody again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
