I may actually have to go with DiMarzio’s in that too, gold plated SD’s are rare and expensive! ---

So where do you guys get your parts? I’ve seen a couple websites but some of them for have what I’m looking for. Also that is a beautiful guitar love the tailpiece and white on gold. I’m planning on slowly doing upgrades to my dot. ---

Allparts, guitarfetish… You really need to research yourself… Find something, and then ask. PS: I hope that didn’t come off as harsh, cause it wasn’t supposed to. ---

Currently using an Epiphone Dot into a Marshall Mg30x Special edition. Hopefully I will be getting new pickups and some pedals for Christmas. Then me and my dad are going to try and build something, more than likely a strat. ---

Being able to actually watch everything come together and in the end hopefully work is probably amazing. So much pride in what you do in the end. I can’t wait to do it myself. I Still think your build was great. [Previous page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/the-guitar-players-thread/46109.md?page=3)
