2010 Epiphone Dot Electric Guitar

By Trish K. Magill

x
The Epiphone Dot is a semi-hollow archtop electric guitar manufactured by Epiphone, a subsidiary of Gibson. It was introduced in 1997 as a more affordable version of the Gibson ES-335, at the high end of entry-level pricing.

The Dot has a semi-hollow body made of laminated maple. Two hollow "wings" with f-holes sitting on each side of a solid block of mahogany on which the pickups, bridge and tailpiece are mounted, which makes it less prone to feedback than a fully hollow-bodied guitar.
It has two alnico Humbucker pickups, each with its own volume and tone control, a three-way selector switch allowing the player to choose one or both pickups, a Tune-O-Matic bridge and a stop-bar tailpiece.
x
It has a mahogany glued-in neck and a rosewood fingerboard. The name "Dot" is in reference to its fretboard markers, which are simple dots, unlike other Epiphone archtop guitars such as the Casino or the Sheraton, which have more elaborate block inlays.
x
Reviews describe it as a robustly constructed, versatile guitar with a smooth, powerful sound, suitable for jazz, blues, and rock styles.
