Epiphone Dot 335 in Cherry, USED

The Epiphone Dot 335 in Cherry is a beautifully crafted semi-hollow body guitar that pays homage to the legendary Gibson ES-335, offering classic rock and blues tones at a more accessible price. Named for its iconic dot inlays, this model is known for its warm, resonant sound and stunning visual appeal, enhanced by the vibrant cherry red finish that evokes a classic vintage aesthetic. The semi-hollow design features a solid centre block, providing a balance between the resonance of a hollow body and the sustain and feedback control of a solid-body guitar, making it a versatile instrument suited for many genres.

Crafted from laminated maple for the top, back, and sides, the Dot 335 delivers a bright yet balanced tonal quality, with enough warmth and depth for jazz while still capable of cutting through a mix for rock and blues solos. The mahogany neck features a slim taper "D" profile, which is comfortable for both rhythm and lead playing, and the Indian laurel fingerboard with 22 medium jumbo frets offers smooth playability. The dual f-holes not only add to the classic look but also enhance the guitar’s acoustic resonance, making it responsive to subtle dynamics and varied playing techniques.

Equipped with a pair of Epiphone Alnico Classic humbuckers, the Dot 335 offers a range of tones from warm and smooth to gritty and overdriven, depending on the player's needs. The neck pickup provides full, round tones perfect for jazz or mellow blues, while the bridge pickup delivers a brighter, more biting sound that’s great for rock riffs and leads. The three-way pickup selector switch and independent volume and tone controls allow for precise sound-shaping, giving players the ability to blend and dial in the perfect tone for their style.

The Epiphone Dot 335 also comes with sturdy hardware, including a LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece for excellent sustain and reliable tuning stability. The Grover tuners offer precision tuning adjustments, ensuring that the guitar stays in tune through intense playing. With its combination of classic looks, solid build quality, and versatile tonal capabilities, the Epiphone Dot 335 in Cherry is a fantastic choice for players looking for the iconic semi-hollow body experience without the hefty price tag of its Gibson counterpart.
