I was so impressed with those that that's why I ended up buying this inexpensive Epiphone which was about $260 brand new. I was so blown away by the quality of this inexpensive instrument that I decided I wanted to treat myself to the real deal or at least some type of upgrade. The $6,000 custom Gibson is simply not in the cards for me. But I think I did pretty well ordering a custom H - 555 from Heritage guitar. My H-555 is built in the same Factory and using a lot of the same machines that built all of the great Gibsons before they moved to Nashville. My H-555 has 2 Seth Lover pickups, ebony fingerboard and gold Evo fret wire, upgraded top and sides done in a dark vintage wine burst. Love it!

Todd... If you select from available samples, it's quite easy to find Epiphone semi-hollow guitars (339 Pro P90, in my case) that are truly excellent instruments, for less than 1/4 of the price of a similar Gibson model. That's wonderful.
Your Dot looks awesome, BTW. Does it play well?
