The Epiphone Dot is an archtop electric guitar manufactured by Epiphone since the 1990's. It is the cheaper "alternative" to the Gibson ES-335. In addition to the standard Dot, other models have been available such as the Dot Studio and Dot Deluxe that feature a variety of hardware and finishes.
Construction and sound
Thanks to the semi-hollow body and the Alnico Humbucker pickups the Dot achieves a warm and clear tone. Its construction offers a lot of sustain as well, which makes it capable of being a singing lead guitar. The solid wood block that runs down the middle of the guitar helps preventing feedback, but the guitar will generate feedback easier than a solid-body guitar.
