Epiphone Dot Studio Demo/Review

[jka1989]

Its pretty thin. Not as thin as a les paul but still pretty playable.

[NistleDC1]

What's the neck like on that buddy thick or thin?

[MrKiely415]

Don't you ever apologize for that beaner accent

[emilstrube]

i like this guy:)

[HBKsweetCHINmusic10]

Wish, how'd you get fret dots on it? Doesn't the dot studio not have fret dots on the fretboard?

[Nickpatient]

Whys the Dot Standard better than the Dot Studio man? :D

[jka1989]

Hey everyone so sorry I haven't replied to any of your comments, I've been busy moving back and forth from Cali to Arkansas. Repost your questions and ill answer them right away.

[AddictedToTheOi138]

Oi! Punk's not dead! The Unseen Fuck the KKK! I'm getting this guitar soon enough.

[jimihendrixfan2008]

What's with the KKK shirt?

[AmericanXcore]

@jimihendrixfan2008 its a band shirt. the unseen are a street punk band and it's probably a shirt for a song that is against racism and racist groups like the kkk and neo nazis

[jimihendrixfan2008]

@AmericanXcore LOL oh ok. It's all good man. Nice Epi by the way, thinking of getting one myself.

[qos1310]

[passingthroughca]

Great review. I have this guitar also, sounds good playing anything from frank sinatra, johnny cash, streetlight manifesto, horse the band, angels and airwaves, ALL types of music.

[jriveraiv]

This is one of the guitars I'm investing in. Either that, or a Les Paul 100, Revenge Series Warlock, Dean V, or a Dave Mustaine. I currently have an Ibanez and a Starcaster. But it's the Starcaster I'm trying to replace.

[joel8x]

Did you fall in love with the Quick Check girl?

[jka1989]

With the Dirty Finger pickups, the dirty sounds are pretty good. Sounds nice and crunchy, but I would still have to recommend the Epiphone Dot (Standard) over this studio version.

[xx55AC55xx]

with the epi dot can it play bluse good and hard rock? such as aerosmith kiss gnr and 4 bluse like bb king johnny A

[AVADRUMZAVA]

when u played ska it kinda sounded like real big fish

[jka1989]

Yeah, I was playing part of they're cover of "Unity" by Operation Ivy.

[pplskank123]

ska is the way to go.

[SymbolicNickolaus]

@jka1989 whats the pop punk song?

[MFJord1]

is this guitar gigable?

and btw, are dirty fingers ur humbuckers?

so yes, are they in it when you buy them?

thanks!

[jka1989]

Yeah those are Dirty Fingers in there. I bought em seperate. I would recommend the Dot over the Dot Studio, The Dot Standard is much better.

[Bulldogs74840]

hey so i am the one who you helped with the dirty fingers on the same guitar but your advice still isn't helping. any other advice?

[jka1989]

What kind of strings and amp are you using? I have Ernie ball Skinny Top/Heavy Bottom and I still dont get to much low end. If your adjusting the pole pieces, try messing around with the the ones nearest to the bridge. I turned every pole piece about 2 to 4 times counter clockwise,but then againd It could be your amp or something else in your signal chain like a pedal. If your using heavier strings, your gonna get a punchier bottom end. But your best bet is to balance out the coils.

[Bulldogs74840]

I have Ernie ball custom guage nickel wound guitar strings. my amp is a line 6 spider 3 15 watt. when you turned them 2-4 times, was it all six closest to the bridge or just the EAD string or just the GBe strings?

[jka1989]

2 times on the first coil, about 3 or 4 on the one closest to the bridge. Mostl on the G D and A string for more midrange

[Bulldogs74840]

oh sorry they are just ernie ball regular slinky

[pl4typuses]

I thought it had no dots on frets?

And what you did each time you change the effects? I see you do smt with the computer

[jka1989]

It comes with no dots. I bought them seperately. There kinda like stickers and they glow in the dark. I was using guitar rig 3 on my computer. I was changing my sound to show how the guitar sounds. The dots help me play.

[MFJord1]

arn't there dots on the neck it's self?.

[jka1989]

Change the pickups and the bridge and this baby will sound LOADS better! What kind of amp are you using?

[dsloveskc]

nah thats all cheers buddy! xx

[jka1989]

Did you get your guitar yet?

[dsloveskc]

yeah its fuckin brilliant mate, the frets are just like on a normal guitar and the sounds great on it! xx

[dsloveskc]

aw cool, im getting a dot studio and i was wonderin about know the fret bourd is it like thick, like compaired to a strat is the fretboard thicker or the same size as it? its a stooopid question but iv got wee hands and i dont wana be wrapin my hand around it to do a barr chord haha. xx

[jka1989]

Well....i used to play a Strat also. I have no problem with this fretboard. I wondered about the same thing also cause I play alot of Ska and I gotta be fast with the barr chords and my hands are small also. This guitar is probably a little bit more comfortable than my old Strat. Even with a high Action its still easy to do barr chords. Anything else you wanna know?

[dsloveskc]

how do you have dots on yours ?

[jka1989]

Look for them on the Musicians Friend website. Thats where i got mine.They're Fretlord Glow In the Dark Fret Markers. They come in handy. Just peel em off and stick em on to your guitar!
