Product Description

The Epiphone Dot, Epiphone's version of the venerable ES-335 "Dot", has been wowing guitar players all over the world for a decade. Vintage models (with vintage problems) can't complete with the Epiphone Dot, which is simply one of the best deals today for guitar players who want the classic sound of an ES-335 at an affordable price. Now the Dot Studio gives players the exact same sound and quality in a stripped down studio model made of mahogany. Similar to the Les Paul Studio, the Dot Studio has all the tone and functionality of the "Dot" but with a fabulous Cherry finish.

Epiphone is long famous for its own original semi-hollowbody models from the 1950s Kalamazoo, Michigan era, including the Riviera and the Sheraton. During the same time those guitars were being designed and constructed in Kalamazoo, the ES 335, first introduced in 1958, became a favorite of blues, rock, country, and pop acts for its elegant design and wide array of colorful tone combinations. Now, the Epiphone Dot Studio, named in reference to its mahogany body, worn finish and plain fingerboard, opens up the availability of the sustain and resonance of the semi-hollow design for a bounty less than most solid body guitars. The "Dot" is the same axe that has been the bell weather of every rock and roll breakthrough. And now for the first time, the "Dot" puts that classic sound and over 40 years of refinements in your hands, the Epiphone way.

The Dot Studio is protected by the famous Epiphone Lifetime Limited Warranty featuring Gibson 24/7/365 Customer Service which guarantees the instrument against defects in materials or workmanship.

Semi-hollow Design, Solid Craftsmanship

The Dot Studio is constructed of mahogany with a mahogany center block and a hand-fitted, glued-in 24.75 inch scale mahogany neck. Other details include a plain rosewood fingerboard, a 1.68 inch nut, a SlimTaper "D" profile, and the traditional dovewing Epiphone headstock.

Ringin' Like A Bell

The Dot Studio, like all Epiphone's, features quality electronic parts including full-size, 1 inch 500K Ohm potentiometers, Epiphone's all-metal pickup selector switch, and a heavy-duty output jack. Its fabulous semi-hollowbody sound is voiced by a pair of open coil, black Alnico Classic humbucker pickups. Controls include a master tone and volume.

Epiphone Hardware

The Dot Studio includes Epiphone's famous nickel hardware including premium 16:1 ratio black Grover machine heads for superior tuning stability and accuracy along with Epiphone's exclusive black LockTone locking Tune-o-matic bridge and Stopbar tailpiece for great sustain. zZounds is an authorized dealer of Epiphone products.

"Didn't get it from zZounds, but you should get it."
Overall: I have about 10 stringed instruments at the moment. About 5-6 of them electric guitars, all solidbody. I've always wanted to pick up a semi-hollow or a hollowbody but I was too afraid it would be limited in the range of sound, and therefore, how much I would play it. Forget about that. If this is your first electric guitar or if you just have some extra cash for an extra guitar burning a hole in your pocket, pick this guitar up and know that it's probably one of the best buys on the planet in a new guitar. The pickups are totally better than adequate and the guitar is dynamic without feeding back or being too microphonic. It's capable of playing a wide range of music with more depth than any of my Les Pauls or my Strat-alikes. You really cannot beat this guitar for $300, and that's acknowledging that taste is subjective. You can make this guitar sound serviceable for any kind of music and get dynamics and pickup clarity that most people pay a lot more money for. It stays in tune, and even seems quite sturdy for a semi-hollowbody, though I wouldn't go out of my way to test that.

1. We offer the most flexible payment plans in the biz

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!
