I only have two Epis, but I'm always looking for more. Love them as much as my Gibsons. fDbVIUO.jpg

In fact I play my modded Korean more than I play my Gibson LP Studio and Standard DC. I really like the neck on it.

 

I really like the finish on this guitar

Here's my modded 2004 Dot. Mods include - Tusq nut, Gibson 57 classics, Bigsby, CTS pots, wilkinson roller bridge. This guitar is a tone monster and plays beautifully.

2012 Epi LP Honeyburst

I was in the local GC today (wife had the kids school clothes shopping at Kohl's across the parking lot) and saw the most beautiful Desertburst. I've never seen one before and there are no pictures of one that do justice to the one I saw. I SOOOOOO want to take my HB back in and trade it for DB! [tongue]

Here are some pics of mine.

 

Black Sheraton 2 is my gigging guitar along with the Gretsch.

 

Just got the HR1 and it's a keeper, plays beautifully and sounds mellow as you like. Feeds back like a ***** though so

Probably wont gig with it.

 

Hummingbird is a great acoustic, more guitar than it has a right to be for the price.

Haven't seen an HR pic posted for some time, looks super [thumbup]

Thanks it's beautiful, a gift from my lovely girlfriend. 1996 and looks factory fresh.

 

Trouble is I can't put it down and it's getting me into trouble with the aforementioned girlfriend :)

I've been seriously thinking about a Bigsby on my Dot. I have an Elitist Casino that I added one to, and a Wildkat, and while I don't give it a lot of use or "dive bombing", I like the feature when I want it. As a result of not having one, my Dot has become less attractive.

 

Where did you get the little "8 ball" covers for the old bridge posts? I've seen a few creative ideas on things from Home Depot, etc. but those are cool. I'm not into the "Custom Made" plate that some have used. Thx in advance.

Hi Dennis,

 

The 8 balls are bicycle tyre valve caps. Cycle shops have a range of designs. Originally i used a couple of dice on the posts, but i prefer the look of the 8 balls.
