got my special Music123 Epiphone Dot today

Post by bassVIst » Fri Jan 12, 2007 5:34 pm

i don't like the look of it as much as i'd hoped...

the flamey grain stands out too much
i dunno
maybe i'm retarded

i didn't expect the neck to be bound
but the blocks are pretty ugly

kinda wish i'd just gotten a plain jane with dots and a different color than Cherry
or a Casino
or what i REALLY wanted... ES 295 with a bigsby!:D
(didn't know they were available again)

but the thing plays REALLY well
and sounds pretty good
i dunno
not much of a guitar player

it was set up really well

wanna try some different strings
but all i have layin around are Fender stainless flatwounds
13's are a bit much
may as well play the damn VI!!!

Maybe you just need a little time to get used to it .. could grow on you.

I guess that puts your CS VI back a little bit.    :D

naw, my CS VI hopes were dashed a long time ago...
which was part of the reason i made this impulse buy on something "affordable"

i don't wanna return it
it's growing on me

and my brother came down and played it yesterday
i think he loves it
i may trade it to him to get my Zephyr Regent back
i dunno
