Product Description

The Epiphone Dot Studio Semi-Hollow Electric Guitar builds on Epiphone's great tradition of archtops such as the legendary Sheraton and Emperor. Simplified controls and minimalist styling provide great functionality and elegant visual appeal while powerful Vintage Alnico V Plus pickups give it plenty of bite. Drawing on the classic 335 vibe, with mahogany top, back, sides, and set neck, the Dot Studio guitar dishes out hot blues and rock when overdriven or thick jazz tones clean. The scale length is 24-3/4", with a nut width of 1-17/25". The LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece provide more sustain and string changing easier.

This review is from: Epiphone Dot Studio Semi-Hollow Electric Guitar Worn Brown

I've been playing 20 plus yrs with studio and performing exp......This guitar has a warm vintage tone which is so sweet!!!! The lack of a hard finish lets the guitar breathe so to speak and gives that vintage sound guitarist dream about... add a few Gibson humbuckers and you have a $2,000.00 Gibson sound......it took about 8 hours of playing to break it in...change the strings...the factory ones are fair....this guitar blows away most Ibanez and Mexican strats....I cranked it up on a 65 watt amp....wow.....a real sound...not plastic like so many new guitars out there today.. a great price.... I will use this guitar on my next recording project.....p.s make sure you carefully tighten up the tuning keys and the volume and tone controls...the red one looks better than the walnut finish....Triple J....( from detriot motor city )

This review is from: Epiphone Dot Studio Semi-Hollow Electric Guitar Worn Brown

I've always wanted a Gibson ES-335, but didn't have $2,800 to spend on one. I purchased a Dot Studio instead. WHOA!! It's rock solid. Its stripped-down, no pick-guard, flat-finish appearance with black hardware is definitely cool, & after having it set up by a local luthier for $50, it plays like butter & handles everything from Judas Priest to Wes Montgomery. I couldn't be happier. I have a 1985 Fender Stratocaster, 2008 Squier Telecaster, & 1976 Electra Les Paul as my other current electrics (I've owned many others over the years). I find myself splitting time equally between the Fender and the Epiphone. For the money, I've played nothing better (& I've played a lot of guitars in my 43 years of playing). Highly recommended.

THE DOT STUDIO IS A GREAT GUITAR, as I now have one!
I did have a cross threaded nut on the jack socket, annoying but not a huge issue...plays like a dream!
The finish on the worn vintage sunburst I have is a little rough in a couple of spots on the top side but not something that bothers me. That and the cross threaded nut does make me think the general quality control at Epiphone may be questionable. I had heard you needed to be lucky.
However, it still looks damn cool and plays and sounds incredible. Simple controls are good enough. Sounds great pushed to the limit, but also great for warmer jazz tones.
Bottomline? I bought it to play not to smooth its top side and I really love this guitar. I am amazed you can buy this much guitar for $300!
