Advantages: Sturdy, looks great, sounds amazing Disadvantages: stigma of being epiphone and not gibson
In my opinion this is a brilliant sturdy guitar, that is built to the highest quality of epiphone standards being its top of the range. Having played the cheapest gibson les paul and most expensive epiphone les paul custom i would settle for the epiphone every time, which is why i own one of those over the cheapest gibson les paul.
The quality of build, i feel, is very superior to the quality of all other epiphoneelectricguitars and the binding and inlay is just beautiful.
The sound of this guitar is fantastic, far superior to the sound of my fender strat, peavey whitesnake signature and ESP viper, i would choose this guitar over them all for sound and if it ever got broke, lost or stolen i would definitely buy another one! ...
Advantages: Extremely versatile and gorgeous too! Disadvantages: People with tiny hands need not apply.
I've owned an Epiphone Dot for over a year now, so I know it intimately. Well, as intimately as a man can get with a guitar anyway! I guess I'll start with the basics for anyone who's just starting out.
The Dot is a semi hollow electricguitar, This means thats it has a solid block of wood running lengthways through the body, but has hollow chambers on either side. This means it is more audible than a standard solid electricguitar unplugged, but plugged in has the added bonus it is less prone to unwanted feedback than fully hollows. It has 2 humbucker pickups, a 3 way selector switch which lets you use youre different pickups at different time, and 2 independant tone and volume controls. Humbuckers give a more earthy, full sound than single coil pick ups, and are perfect fodder for some overdrive, yet are equally at home with clean ...
Firstly i'd like to say that for me this guitar looks rather drab and boring, as it is so plain and all in black. There is no contrast in colour and doesn't really stand out. But with that now said, i will go onto the other aspects. It has the standard les paul fittings, which are sturdy and reliable, and the tuners that hold their tuning very well.
The pickups are high output and sound very heavy, which is ideal for hard rock and metal. The neck pickup sounds a bit too heavy and doesn't sound great with only light distortion but sound good clean.
The guitar is quite heavy in weight and can make my shoulder ache if i've had it on the strap too long. But the weight is only due to the mahogany it is made from. It is buit very well and is also sturdy. The fitted neck is very nice and adds to the build quility. ...
