The Epiphone Dot is an archtop electric guitar manufactured by Epiphone since 1958. It is a copy of 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.

[edit] 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, unlike the Epiphone Casino. 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.

[edit] Notable users

The 'Dot Studio' is played by Matthew Followill from the band Kings of Leon in the music video for the song 'On Call'.

Josh Homme from Queens of the Stone Age uses an Epiphone Dot.
