Epiphone Dot Studio Review

History: I've been playing guitar on and off since the late '60s. Play rock, pop, contempary Christian. Listen to all kinds of music.

Purchase: Saw and tried this guitar when it first came out and really liked it. When Guitar Center had it as a floor model sale for $250.00, I just couldn't resist it anymore.

Pros: I've been looking for a semi-hollow, double cut away for a long time. Most of them cost more than $1k. But this Dot Studio is so inexpensive and built with such good quality it is hard to pass it by.



Cons: The pickup selection switch's action is rough and I need to tweak the bridge to get proper intonation.

Dot Studio Quality: As I said before, this guitar is solidly built. Although mine is a floor model, I cannot find anything wrong with it. No scratch that I notice.

Epiphone Summary: Great guitar. Very nice sound and the workmanship is great. Playability is just right. Less flexible on tone control with just one volume and one tone controls. But if you use an amp modeler like I do then it is not a problem.
