Pre-Owned 2018 Epiphone Dot ES-335 Semi-Hollow Electric Guitar Cherry with Case

If you've always wanted a 335-style semi-hollow but didn't want to spend Gibson money, Epiphone's Dot has been the go-to answer for decades. This 2018 one in Cherry is a nice example, and it comes with a hardshell case, which is a real bonus at this price.

The Dot follows the classic ES-335 recipe that Gibson introduced in 1958. The thin, double-cutaway body is layered maple with a solid maple block running down the center, so you get some of the airy, resonant bloom of a hollow body along with the sustain and feedback resistance of a solid. It's at home in a variety of genres, and it holds up well when playing with gain.

The mahogany set neck has a comfortable, rounded C profile; it's topped a rosewood fingerboard with dot inlays, a 12" radius and 22 medium jumbo frets on a 24.75" scale. It's an easy guitar to play, whether you're working through jazz chords or bending notes in a blues solo.

A pair of Epiphone Alnico Classic humbuckers handle the sound: a Classic in the neck for warm, round tones, and a hotter Classic Plus in the bridge with more bite to push an amp. Two volumes, two tones and a 3-way toggle let you blend them, and a LockTone Tune-o-matic bridge and stopbar keep the tuning and intonation steady.

This ES-335 is in great condition, and our techs have it setup to play its best.  It comes with a hardshell case. For a first semi-hollow or a reliable gigging guitar, it's hard to beat.
