You know, since the Dirty Fingers is my long term favorite (hell, it's pictured in my forum avatar right there) I was very surprised when it was embraced by the new punk / nu-rock scene like it has been. My guitar is almost as loud and heavy as my damned hair, and both are strong indicators of my 80's metal upbringing.
That being said, I think I could see how the dirty fingers would work fairly well in a epi for the grind and growl of punk chords, but I think you should also consider the VHII and the Nailbomb. I think VHII could have some really cool hard-driven yet vintage character that would be very cool for the accentuated midrange of punk rock.
I just don't know how a VHII would do in a mahogany les paul or SG body.
