hey guys,
i havent had any time yet to try the Epi Dot (GAS changing from Epi LP Custom lol) so checking the reviews and watching demos are my options for now. medyo di lang malinaw sa ngayon is kung medyo maingay ba talaga sya. some reviews says its not some says it is. i understand na these types of guitars makes noise at some point though.
can you help me clarify this guys? maingay ba talaga o hindi? if it is, how would you describe it?
salamat!
so, as of the moment, you are torn between an lp custom and a dot. personally, i pfrefer the dot. i used to own an epi lp standard but i sold it after a month to buy an epi es335 pro. i prefer the sound and the neck feel of the es335. the lp's neck is a bit thick and the sound is more fatter than the es335 especially on the neck position.
as for the noise on semi hollow bodies, i do not hear any feedbacks at low volume but there is a slight feedback at "gigging volumes especially if you are near the amp and using distortion or high gain pedals. it is the characteristic of semi hollows and if you are putting "hot/high output" aftermarket pups on it, it will produce more feedback which is not advisable. personally, i like the feedbacks that semi hollows produce. it suits the kind of music i create and cover.
