Hey guys, I just thought I'd share my finished Epi Dot. Not that I did anything super fancy but I bought this knowing I was going to replace just about everything and she's all done. Here's what I did:

-Replaced the crappy (and ugly) kidney bean Grovers that it came with to keystone style USA Grovers

-Installed Gotoh bridge & tailpiece

-Bone nut

-Complete wiring harness from Jonesy (500k CTS pots & .022 PIO caps) with new switch and jack. Aka: Mojo'd

-Pair of zebra Lord of the Blues pickups from GuitarForce

-Swapped the stock amber top hat knobs with the reflectors I took off my '76 Custom

-Most importantly: Pickguard off

It sounds great. This one was intended to become my "blues" guitar and she's nailed it.

The action is a tad too low right now but that's an easy fix.

Sweet guitar bro, you did a really nice job on it. I have had several of those epi 335's and they are really great guitars, bet yours is a real Tone machine :thumb:

VERY nice! Love the Zebra Stripes! A natural Dot will be my next guitar and I intend to go (reasonably close to) the same route you did with the upgrades. :dude:

From a fellow red Epi Dot owner: thats a sweet one. She looks the part and I bet, sounds the part as well. :)
