Great video. Was literally cleaning up my 1997 Epiphone dot while watching this. Tons of great tips that were useful to clean up mine as well

24:25 maybe that’s why the saddles can be reversed to prevent the chance of contact? I noticed your screws are on opposite side from factory too.

I have a 2000 Dot. I replaced the neck PU with a P-94 (single coil which fits in a humbucker slot). I think that I paid $430.00 for it (w/ a good case) when the shop had it for over a year (6/2001). For the money it's a really good guitar. Mines natural and the wood grain is starting to be more visible.

This guitar is probably very similar to a Samick I own and play. I like the Dot for it's understated styling.

This video has been immensely helpful to me in understanding how to care for my guitars, thank you! I would like to see if you could help me with an issue I'm having using your tip for adjusting the intonation. I have a Guild Starfire IV 12 string and all seems good, aside from the low E and G strings. The high "low" E comes in flat, while the low E comes in sharp. So I'm not sure which way to adjust the saddle to fix that. Likewise the G string is a bit similar, the high G comes in perfect, while the low G comes in sharp. I've checked all of my 6 string guitars based on explanation, and they are all perfect now. I'm just at a loss here since one saddle adjusts two strings at a time, so I'm not sure of the best course of action here. Any further tips would be greatly appreciated!

I have the brown sunburst 335 from 1996, mine is not nearly played as much, seems almost new still. Just looking at that guitar is motivation to play more! What do you think about upgrading with the Stew Mac Epiphone upgrade kit (Vintage Grover tuners, Gotoh bridge and tailpiece)?
@pharmerdavid1432
@pharmerdavid1432 2 года назад
Since he didn't answer yet...my opinion is those changes are worth it, but why stop there? A new wiring "loom" (pots, cap, switch, jack) will make it sound much better, even more of an improvement than changing pickups - but that helps too. Once you upgrade hardware and electronics, an Epiphone "ES-335" is 90%+ as good as a Gibson, maybe better in some cases. Cheers!

@shawnfunstuff 2 года назад
@@pharmerdavid1432 Thanks, mine plays great now, so all those changes would kick it up a notch. Interesting about the pickups, looked into changing them but I really like them as they are.

Great video man, thanks a lot! One question, if you have a lot of rust in the bridge and pickups, would you still just clean it with isopropyl alcohol? Thanks again!
@coffeeguitars6906
@coffeeguitars6906 3 года назад
Thank you for watching! For the bridge, you can take it off and soak it in white vinegar for a few hours, then use an old toothbrush to clean it. For the pickups, you can try to wipe with white vinegar, but make sure you keep the vinegar away from the finish!
