Thats looks really close to a semi-hollow double cut Les Paul, does that even exist?

im sorry but that is the stupidest thing i have ever heard. and its not actually original the dot is based off the gibson ES-335 which although it was made after the les paul has no design off it. anyone with half a brain would have said it looks like an SG because the horns are nearly in-line. and also the les paul is about 3/4 the width of this. the back end of this is maybe, 18-19 inches wide? im not sure im used to metric. seriously tho. that is the stupidest thing ive ever heard. and epi semi/full hollows are usually much better then their epi solid body brothers.

No, I'm a student. This guitar outclasses the gibson Faded-series in terms of playability & construction work. Apart from the other headstock, you would say you are playing a 2500€ Gibson 335

epiphones and gibsons are basicly the same thing anyway, epiphones are just made in the eastern countries such as china n that, so i dont see any reason why this guitar shouldnt be rated 10. its brilliant

yea no kidding.. its just like fender.. a mex fender isnt much diff from an american.. expesually if you get a deluxe because often its the same as an american. people shouldnt spend 3000 bucks on an es 335 instead of 400 on the archtop dot. they are reletively the same.

I've heard that Epiphones semi-hollow guitars should be very good guitars, much better than their other Gibson-copies (they're not generally bad either).

I would buy one certainly if I had the money to it, but when I play mainly metal I think I need another type of guitar at the moment. I will have one in the future, though. If I just could convince my friends to start a band that plays such music that these guitars are made for...

Sigh, there is in fact such a guitar as a semi-hollow doublecut les paul, it is smaller than an es-335 but similar.
So don't insult someone's guitar playing skills before you know what you're talking about yourself, and even then don't slander someone else's guitar skills.

wow that comment was close minded at ALL....but anyways, this guitar is awesome. i purchased it from the gibson showcase room in memphis. it is very nice. the sound is great. to h4v0k, the guitar that i bought had extremely high action, but changing the action is very simple. no i have it a very nice heighth with no buzz. its a great guitar, and the main difference between this and a gibson is the name and nothing more.

Well Gibson '57 Classic Humbuckers are what's on the ES-335, might well make you're Epiphone sound a million times better. Probably better for someone else to say though.

Nope. Dot never had trapazoid inlays. I did the same thing, what you saw is a sheraton, pretty much the same guitar just nicer looking and more expensive (not badly priced though).

get gibson burstbuckers if u can afford them, if not, seymore duncan SH-2 and SH- 4 pickups. they sound very similar, the only difference would be the SD's ability to get the exact same tone as dave and chris at high gains.

Hate the people who say "squiers and epiphones can't be 5-stars guitars, only fenders and Gibson’s can be". Actually the epiphones are getting really good. I've played several epiphones and they are surprisingly good, especially the epiphone custom that guitar has the sound of a real Gibson. There are a lot of musicians in my town that use epiphones instead of Gibson’s because it’s not worth the extra money

What's better.. one of these or a Fender Standard Telecaster?

I would say this because it doesn't buzz at the heavier stuff. Single coil pickups (like the tele has)are rather noisy when you add some gain to it. The hum bucker gets it's name because it stops hum, so that's why people who play metal, punk (etc) usually use hum buckers. So this would probably be better.

The tone, sustain, and overall feel of this DOT is superb.
I would stack this DOT against any ES-335 any day of the week. So, lets see... DOT..$399....Graph-Tech parts...about $100, new pickups from Stewart-Mac..$139.

Comes to about 638 bucks.....Try to find a Gibson ES-335 at that price...good luck!

The Dot has never had trapezoid inlays – it’s called the “Dot” because of… wait for it…. the dot inlays!

Can it play punk/Beatles/balls-out classic rock? Yes. Joshua Homme has used a standard Dot for years. It’s only since he toured with Them Crooked Vultures that he had a Mason pickup placed in the bridge – it’s been one of his main live and recording guitars for around six-plus years. Tom DeLonge has used a custom 335 – they’re pretty much the same guitar, although cheaper components are used in the Dot that the Gibson equivalent. Other notable 335 users have included Clapton (in the late ‘60s), Dave Grohl (a DG-335), Larry Carlton, Alex Lifeson, Alvin Lee, Slash (studio use), Dave Kushner, Rich Robinson… There’s plenty across a variety of genres.
What’s the action like? Ask for a set up if you’re buying one new. Face it, if the store wants repeat custom from you then it’s in their best interest to sort out any potential problems. Once set up it plays very well indeed.

Epiphone were building archtop hollow and semi-hollow bodies long before Gibson bought the company. Some of the ‘60s examples surpass the quality of Gibson electrics of the time (bear in mind that the Les Paul was discontinued for much of that time) and can command suitably high prices, not always as expensive as the equivalent Gibson models out there. Which is a bit of a bargain for any potential vintage guitar collectors. The main difference between the Gibson and Epiphone models now? Place of construction is a major factor to consider. Epiphone have a plant in China which means labour is considerably cheaper than the us. The woods used are not quite of the same quality (although Epiphone tend to use better wood than many companies at a similar price point), that said there’s not much in it when it comes to the higher priced Epiphone models. Hardware and electrics are also of cheaper origins. In the case of the hardware, it’s still of a high quality – just not the same calibre as Gibson use in the US. The pickups, pots, switch and wiring is a lower standard, too. Epiphone pickups tend to lack the clarity of Gibson versions and the pots don’t allow enough roll off of frequencies or clean up your volume enough. A few simple upgrades to the Dot and you make a pretty decent guitar sound and feel amazing, quite frankly.
