ON HOLD -Epiphone Sunburst DOT - HEAVILY UPGRADED - OX4s/Montys
What's Hot
I recently acquired this from
@darthed1981 of this parish and have enjoyed it massively, but now the project is complete that I needed it for, I'm realising that it doesn't do anything (other than the visuals needed for the project) that I don't have elsewhere. That said, as Ed will attest this was a particularly sweet Dot, that rings like a bell - even when it was stock.
However, this is now a long way from a standard Epi Dot... and before I revert it back to stock, I thought I'd offer it for sale as it sits in case someone wants it as-is.
The first thing that was done was a full fret job - it didn't play badly at all but I'm a picky bastard and so had a local luthier do a full number on the neck. So all the frets have been reseated, glued and then stoned/polished. Genuinely, it plays as well as any semi acoustic you can think of now... utterly incredible playing surface. Not just a quick change of strings and a fret polish - this cost £90 on its own...
The next job was the pots/loom - this has been replaced by a Monty's 50s loom. So correct CTS pots, switchcraft jack and switch and Monty's own brand caps (complete with a baseball cap logo on each...). These are topped with genuine Gibson knobs in black.
Finally the pickups... swapped out for a set of OX4 low wind PAF alikes (7.2k neck and 7.6k bridge) with nickel covers.
It comes with a particularly lovely Alvarez hard case.
I've spent *HUGE* amounts on this and I have kept the original parts, so could revert it to stock if necessary.
As it sits with the OX4s/Montys loom £450
Back to Stock £225
Would prefer collection/meet up as its a PITA to ship and nobody wants to pay for the price of a proper box, and insured shipping (can do, but its not included at this price). I'm based in Northants (near Kettering) and would be prepared to travel an hour if needed for a meet...
Pics tonight.
Never Ever Bloody Anything Ever.
