Dazed Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 Hmm original post is messed up so will try this again! I was getting bored with playing lately. So when that happens, I usually try and buy some new gear. Luckily I do not get bored often . I currently have all Carvin Guitars so decided to branch out and do something different. So I ordered a Mellitus from Dot On Shaft Guitars. Should be here on Tuesday. http://www.dotonshaft.com/product-details.cfm?id=1472 http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f357/dotonshaft/KOREANGUITARS/Mellitus/0fe9c5c3.jpg Dazed Music Wild SaturDazed Music Mixposure.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazed Posted October 21, 2007 Author Share Posted October 21, 2007 They were just up at the GuitarPlayer Guitar Hero event. I was reading about it on their site. Seems to have gone well. I just can't see spending the money on Gibson's anymore. They are just too proud and I can't justify that kind of money lol.

Dazed Posted October 21, 2007 Author Share Posted October 21, 2007 I will post some clips/pix/review. If you want to see one in action check out Jamie Robinson. This guy is amazing. I think he is playing a Caparelli model on this one. Dazed Music Wild SaturDazed Music Mixposure.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Professor Monkey Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 But it also says (i think ) that Mike looks over everything and then will switch things out you dont want. I really want that blue burst carparelli Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazed Posted October 22, 2007 Author Share Posted October 22, 2007 A Hamer? I would say both are takes from a Gibson DC. As for distibutors, I think what it boils down to is Mike designs all the instruments and has them built to his specs. I read somewhere where they looked at several manufacturers to build them. I am not really worried about where it is built as long as it is a solid instrument. It is funny though, we guitarist think that if it is not built in the usa, it is not as good. Yet ask us about a $24k-$1,000,000+ car investment and we say Honda, Toyota, BMW, Mercedes or an Enzo Ferrari. I do not believe the usa hype personally. Gibsons quality has been going down yet the prices go up. I have a Carvin Cobalt C850 Acoustic that is remakable. It is not made in California like the other Carvin's. It is just built to their specs. I will let you guys know how it is. From some reviews on Harmony Central, All were pretty much 9-10 scores so I think I will like it. Oh those Carparelli's are sweet!

bigherm Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 did it get delivered yet? tell me how it is when you get it cuz i was thinkin about one of the custom peavey's from www.peaveycustomshop.com but this could change my mind. especially since the peavey costs $2,800 and this is exactly the same thing for just $700. Also i like the neck on the dot on shaft...that thing is clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Post office was closed by the time I found the delivery notice Great looking guitars, but in the website I found a disclaimer stating that Dot on Shaft is the Canadian distributor for an Indonesian luthier. That might explain the pricing. did some research. they had one line that they brought in from Indonesia that carried the Marlique Guitar name. It did not carry the DOS name on them. I guess they are opening a custom shop next year. After doing some searches on youtube, I am rather anxious now. Found a cool video of a guy showing the unveiling of his new caparelli. This is the other model I want to get. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OtRb_N_k20Q&rel=1 Dazed Music Wild SaturDazed Music Mixposure.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
