GFS Dream 90 for epi dot neck

Post by hotrodperlmutter »

just ordered the black dream 90 for my epiphone dot studio (white with black pups).

so stoked. was going to change the pickup bezels to cream but i think i'll leave the blackies.

Rod, I'm assuming this is going into the neck position, yeah? Let us know how you go with some pictures. I have some selfish interest in this.

I was thinking about putting some p94's into my Epi Supernova but it looks like a bit of a bitch getting the wiring harness out and all that crap.

I has dot studio (glooosss black). not really a fan of the dirty fingers. I was thinking eventually I'm going to have to change them both out for mean/dream 90s.

you has dirty fingers in your dot too mage? **happy**

i thot i was only one! it is super gritty, but i like it. 500k pot keeps the shrill to minimum. i don't have pics of it, cuz it's been back and forth from the practice space, but this is what i want it to look like :)

How is the guitar itself? I've heard bad things about these.

i love mine so much. i always wanted a les paul, but could never find one i liked. i played a delonge 333 at musicians friend when they first came out, and i loved the way it felt. sitting down, standing up, it was glorious, but i secretly craved dual humbuckers. i love newer gibson neck widths, because it feels like playing an acoustic (60's shit feels like you're playing a hard elephant dick).

i bought this on a whim for $150 on ebay. brand new. it is stamped "used" on the headstock, but it played marvelous right out of the box. finish was great, and it's semi hollow. i got a dirty fingers brand new (fucking stupid expensive, like $120 or sommit) and put it in, but managed to mangle the pickup selector wiring and neck pickup wiring, so only the dirty fingers works. it sounds awesome. once i get the gfs wired into the neck, i'll demo it (sure you will).

this guitar has bawz that i can't get with anything else. only thing with the body being so wide is if it's hot... it makes your whole gut sweat. i won't sell it anytime soon.
