Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

A nicely affordable version of the venerable Gibson 335 Dot, the 6-string Epiphone Dot Archtop electric guitar still features that fabulous semi-hollowbody sound voiced by real Alnico Classic Humbucker pickups. The trademark Dot design, named for the pearl dot fingerboard markers on early models, was invented by Gibson in 1958 to meld traditional features of hollowbody electrics with the performance of a solidbody.

It's equipped with 2 volume and 2 tone controls that let you tailor your tones to fit your style, and a LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece for more sustain and easier string changes. Backed by a limited lifetime warranty.

• Body and top: Laminated maple
• Controls: 2 volume, 2 tone

5.0 out of 5 stars Really Good Look and Sound, June 19, 2009

This guitar is really worth its price at $400. It has a very nice look to it and its sounds great. Not only is it great for just blues or jazz kind of music, but rock music also sounds great on it too. And its not just a cheap start up guitar, but pros use it too. Both Josh Homme and Troy La Veewen ( i think thats how u spell it) of Queens of The Stone Age used this guitar for the Songs For the Deaf tour. If you don't believe me search Auto Pilot Queens of the Stone Age on youtube and look at what guitar they are using. Seriousely though if i did not buy it myself i would think this was at least $600 not $400. So if you are looking for a guitar to possibly gig with for not to much money this is one of your best choices.

I actually have a special edition with a flamed maple sunburst top and gold hardware, which I think looks better and is also the same price. This thing is a really nice instrument. It's gorgeous looking and, despite being a budget guitar, can get gorgeous tone. I've got a 15 watt Line 6 digital amp, and it even sounds great through that. The pickups are '57 Classic Alnicos (I don't know what alnico means, but it's good), and can get nice warm jazzy clean tones, wailing electric blues, fuzzy rock, punk, and thick metal. It sounds awesome on the bridge pickup with full midrange and about 3/4 treble, just enough distortion to get fuzzy power chords, and a bit of reverb. I highly recommend this guitar.

I had one of these years ago when they were made in Korea. I was unsure about getting one now since they are made in China. I was very pleased when I received the guitar, the craftsmanship is superb, no flaws at all. Beautiful finish, no fret buzz and set up ready to play right out of the box. I changed the strings to Gibson 10's and started playing. The new bridge and tail piece are a great improvement over the old ones. I can recommend this guitar highly.
