MGR/C.V. « Epiphone ES-335 Dot »
Published on 04/30/03 at 15:00First off,I started playing about 6 yrs.ago and had to have every guitar that came down the road.I wised up after much wasted time and money and have come to the conclusion that with my 52 tele and Epi-335 if i can't make or play music with these its time for gardening or knitting.I did a Ebay purchase of the 335 and feel i got a good deal.The price w/shipping was 430.00. Besides a gibson 335 can no way sound 2000.00 better.
The overall size and the weight is not bad, then it's not strapped around my neck for 4-5 sets a night.The neck is real nice for this price range,most guitar necks are usually quite out of whack when they arrive.The combination of hollowbody and solidbody is the best of both worlds.
Well here we go. The nut is very cheap and should be replaced.The tuners will do unless your gigging alot.The pickups should go for the real 57 gibson's,classic 57 in the neck,classic 57+ in the neck.The 3way switch change asap. and quite possibly the endpin jack.
The 335 is built very solid. All joints and bindings are real clean and straight. The finish is a little thin at the F holes,must be from the buffing at the factory.
The epiphone ES-335 Dot is the best value semi-hollowbody on the market today.Even with the total gibson upgrades you would have yourself 3000.00 dollar gibson 335 for about 900.00 bucks. That my music brothers is the deal of a lifetime.
