Aaron Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Hola Amigos. I recently traded my G400 for a Dot. Overall I am happy with the trade. I prefer the balance of the Dot (G400 is so neck heavy) and I like the neck profile better. I love the tone on both guitars. The one problem I have is that the Dot seems to be really susceptible to static. It isn't pot scratchiness, but rather static that is transmitted from my hands to the strings, and through the pickups and amp. It isn't overbearing, but it is annoying. My G400 was virtually silent in terms of static and hum. It was really impressive actually, and I expected the Dot to be similar. Is this a typical Dot issue, or did I get the short end of the stick on this trade? I didn't notice it at first. Maybe I wasn't "charged" enough at the time. I'm not one to take apart my guitar beyond small setup adjustments, so if this is something that needs fixing, I'll just be taking it to a tech. If it is a common Dot problem that can't be solved without hemorrhaging cash, I'll just be super bummed that I didn't do the research first.

bigneil Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 It sounds to me like there maybe a problem with one of the earth wires. if so, it's an easy 10 minute job for your guitar tech'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
