DetroitBlues Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 I picked up on a trade a couple months ago, a 2006 Epi Dot Deluxe in a Blackcherry finish with gold hardware. The neck pickup was awesome, but the bridge was ok. I had to take the guitar in to have the frets dressed (and some reseated). Decided to pull the stock pickups and install Seymour Duncan Seth Lovers. (sort of like Gibson 57 classics). The guitar just rocks. It has the thickest neck profile I've played!

Bluesbrekr Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Absolutely gorgeous finish!! I hope you like the PU swap. But you gotta hide those wires in the F hole... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mud guy Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Nice score and upgrades! My old dot had a fat neck too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its such a pain to just get in there let alone worry about it being pretty... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sada Yairi Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 I'm never a fan of gold hardware, but that is one classy looking unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blueman335 Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Beautiful guitar, and excellent choice of PU's (They're better than Gibson '57's). I have a Deluxe this color too, don't see many around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinTheHood Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Nice guitar and a fairly uncommon color. There were green and black Deluxes also. The most common color for the Dot Deluxe is the Vintage Sunburst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterland Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Beautiful guitar - I have a 2009 DOT I did the same thing with. The stock pups didn't have much personality so I replaced them with Seth Lovers. It's one of two guitars in my collection that still gets used daily. The other is a PRS SE which is my favorite. Did you do the install yourself ? Not an easy task with no removable back plate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
