rockabilly69 Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Just when I thought I was out, they pul me back in! Man, thanks so much for taking the time to answer all these questions and post these clips. You've been a HUGE help! Do you mean Seymour Duncan pulled you back in? If so, that's kind of how I felt:) And they replaced the stock Pearly Gates pickups which alot of people seem to like but really didn't do it for me. as a side note... I also was impressed with the Slash pickup that they are doing, and believe me I'm no Slash fan! But I heard a set of those in a cheap Epiphone Dot studio, and I couldn't believe my ears when I heard that combination. It was like a rock and roll Funny Car! A $250 guitar with $180 set of pickups, a fret dress, and some new Dimarzio custom taper pots and RS Jenson Cap, it redifined the term "cheap thrills"! I plugged this guitar into my TopHat Club Deluxe and notes were jumping right off the top of the guitar. A lot of expensive ES335 guitar owners would walk away in shame after hearing this! I played every blues and rock lick I knew until I was exhausted!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freedom of choice is not without it's burdens. Interesting about the Slash pups, I never really even thought about those and I AM a Slash fan. I was going to wait to order the pups until I placed my order with Heritage but I think I might be doing it sooner than later and putting them in my Godin in the mean time.

rockabilly69 Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Well good luck on your final decision and let us know how it works out! By the way, the Epiphone Dot with the Slash pickups wasn't mine, but belonged to a friend who kept on raving about it, and I thought he was nuts or tone deaf, until I plugged it in that is:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HRB853370 Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Did you take this picture with a mirror? I thought your guitars would be left-handed. He took my advice and decided to correct his playing technique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark555 Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Hi and welcome. What ever you decide, once you have played a nice 150 for an hour, you won't want a Gibson. I always wanted a 335, but the prices were going up faster than I could save up for one, then I found a Heritage 555 and it leaves today's 335's standing in the shadows. You won't be disappointed.
