My wife bought this lovely Inspired by Gibson series ES-335 and new studio monitors for my birthday.

[RaceU4her]

Very nice. What monitors?

[spawnofthesith]

Nice!! Epi does a great job with their semi hollows

[Diddlybo]

Nice guitar. Epi is really killing it with the "inspired by Gibson" line.

PreSonus Eris E8 XT's.

I'm on the waitlist for a FM3 too.

Yeah, I really like it a lot.

HNGD!!!


I just got one of those Epi 335s myself...... solid guitar, played nice out the box but after getting a set up done its on another level...... I did swap out the bridge pickup for a Duncan Seth Lover and upgraded the bridge to a Tone Pros.... the neck pickup was pretty good and hangs with the duncan just fine

It does play nice right out of the box but I'm planning on getting a set up done. I think I want to try it with a set of 9's on it first and see what it's like with those. I might even have them replace the nut and bring the action down a hair. it's good now but I think that would make it killer.

Rocked it pretty good this morning. It's awesome, I love it.

I think I actually like 10s on this guitar. It rings out so damn nice and it got better and better as the strings started breaking in.

I hate the grabby feel of new strings, the way they feel like they're grinding against the frets.

I slapped on a Pink Floyd inspired backer and ripped leads on it up and down the fret board for an hour.
That made them submit.

She's kickin' ass now.

Nice axe, looking forward to clips at some point.

it's supposed to be a graph tech nut, so unless you want a bone or different material you just need to have the slots filled down to get the first fret action dialed in which was the main thing my tech did to mine to get it playing right, after that it was just a minor tweak on the truss rod and adjust the action to suit... we were able to get the action very low, so low I actually raised it which is honestly a first for me lol

Cool haul, even cooler mrs

[Riffraff]

Thanks man

She is the best. I'm a lucky guy....this time.
it took 3 gets to get the right one.

[itchyfingers]

Fuck yeah, the Dot is such an underrated guitar!

[Riffraff]

Fun guitar. I really like it. I needed something different in my collection.

I really like the plain top version too. My cell phone picture sucks, you can see the wood grain on the guitar, just not in my picture.
