Will a pickguard mounting bracket for Les Paul fit the Epiphone Dot?

http://forum.gibson.com/index.php?/topic/56923-epiphone-dot-pickguard-bracket/ -this says no and the staff in Lazer I asked said no, too
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Archtop-Replacement-Pickguard-Mounting-BRACKET-Gibson-LP-335-Style-Guitars-/160706895540?pt=Guitar_Accessories&hash=item256ae09eb4#ht_563wt_1139 but this one ,which looks like the the other LP mounting brackets online, says it can fit with the 335 style guitars

hirap nga maghanap ng flats, kaya nga pag na ka hanap ka score mo ako tapos bayaran ko nalang sayo koya.

The previous owner of that guitar, Aya yuson had a heart attack couple months ago. He survived it and currently undergoing therapy. Get well soon Aya!

whew nice..kawawa nga un semi hollow ko..kinabitan yata previous owner ng 12s..luwag na nung hole para sa tail piece.di ko alam panu ayusin.ala kasi ako kilala luthier d2 sa baguio.dalhin ko guitar salon pag nakaluwas ako.do you guys have any ideas panu ayusin to? remedyo ko lng now ng teflon eh.

mahavishnu · « **Reply #507 on:** January 05, 2012, 01:21:36 PM »

Stop tail piece where the strings are anchored or the saddles on the TOM bridge? If its the groove of the saddles, either change it with new ones, preferably brass. If all the saddles wore out evenly then just adjust the height of the tom bridge. I dont think the strings would move around much even on a bigger groove. Just my opinion

lordpogi · « **Reply #508 on:** January 05, 2012, 05:21:53 PM »

yung butas sa kahoy na pinagkakabitan nung post ng stop tail piece ang lumuwag sir.i was thinking pafill ko yung butas with wood epoxy then rebore the hole.kaso sabi nila tatamaan daw un paint job. please check the picture mga sir pra makita nyo un post nung stop tail piece naka usli na. please let me know your thoughts.

mahavishnu · « **Reply #509 on:** January 06, 2012, 03:37:22 AM »

oh i see. wood putty would do. if it was slightly bigger id suggest plugging with solid wood then redrill

bakit naman na ispi mo 12's ang may sala, archtops usually heavy string gauge.

was just thinking sa string tension nahila ng todo un post kaya lumuwag ng ganun..in my fear of worsening it im only using 10s now..i was really planning on flat wound 11's on this baby, but looks like i need to spend for repairs before the dream becomes reality..

I got it on a trade for a Japanese Strat plus cash looongg ago

Here's a guitar I got recently: an Epiphone Emperor Regent......

This one I strung Rotosound Toptape Flatwounds.... Quite heavy (0.012s), but they play very nicely....

Tell me what you guys think.....

I joined this thread about 2 years ago and my RL-2 is in a restoration state, I don't know if i'm in the wrong thread but I would just like to ask if there is anyone of you who would know how to find replacement screws for my guitar. I've basically scoured Sta. Mesa, Raon, JB, RJ, Audiophile, Yamaha, Perfect Pitch and still to no avail

Can i find these screws in the hardware shops? or if any of you guys have replacement screws i'll buy 'em

Thanks

lordpogi · « **Reply #519 on:** January 16, 2012, 05:50:57 AM »

screws for what part sir?

carloangelomendiola · « **Reply #520 on:** January 17, 2012, 11:32:01 AM »

@ lordpogi

screws for the humbucker pickup rings and screws for the pickup adjustment.

Funny story I should say, after scouring the shops mentioned above, my tita which is just a stone's throw away from my place asked me one morning and said: "Sabi ni mama mo naghahanap ka daw ng screw?" Patingin?. And when I showed her the screws she was like " Dito samen meron niyan" And voila! Loads of screws that fit my guitar!

Another story to add to the guitar's history!

lordpogi · « **Reply #521 on:** January 17, 2012, 03:08:15 PM »

haha +100 to your tita!

Mga chief, I'm just wondering... kasi I'm planning to buy an Ibanez AS73 instead of a epi one... If in case ba, posible kaya kabitan ng pickguard ung as 73?
