Epiphone ES335 DOT Electric Guitar Cherry

Here’s a popular Epiphone model – the ES335 DOT semi-solid arched top guitar, presented here by Epiphone in a left hand configuration with an attractive Cherry finish.

The arched top complete with “f” holes on each side is crafted from Laminated Maple as are the sides and rear, whilst this model also has a set Maple neck. The fret board uses Rosewood and has 22 medium frets with orientation courtesy of Pearloid dot markers, the pick-ups, tune-o-matic bridge, stop bar tail piece and die-cast machine heads are all finished in chrome.

Each of the hum-bucking pick-ups has its own tone and volume control and uses a 3 way toggle switch located adjacent to the control knobs to select and activate the desired choice of pick-up. The double cut-away body is bound along its edges and has the Epiphone “E” logo on the truss rod cover and also on the floating black plastic scratch plate, the jack insert interface is situated on the face of the instrument adjacent to the rotary control knobs.

Having owned and played a similar model during my younger years I have always had a liking for 335 models. Their creamy tone and mellow semi-acoustic smoothness sounds elegant – at least to my ears. However, as this guitar is a lefty – and I’m right handed, I had to call on an old friend of mine to road test this instrument for the review.

I was interested to hear what he thought of it after many years of playing Ibanez pointy guitars in metal bands, although like me he is now a little older and wiser and not the metal god he once was in his twenties …

His initial comment was about how light the guitar was and that it was also extremely well balanced when worn with a strap. He also mentioned that the set-up was pretty much good to go straight out of the box and little or no adjustments were required. We tried the ES335 DOT through a variety of amps and created a range of tones that varied from soulful, clean R&B with just a hint of Jazz, through to snappy, snarling blues overdrive that when played on the neck pick-up created a sustained singing lead sound.

All in all I thought the ES335 DOT performed admirably and were it not for the swift intervention of his wife, my colleague was intent on taking the instrument home with him. However, the credit card was snatched from his grasp at the last minute and he slumped off, head bowed sucking on his thumb with his trusty comfort blanket thrust against his cheek …

So to all you Lefty’s out there, here’s one to add to your list – try it down at the Nevada Music Warehouse …
