Description: Epiphone '59 ES-335 DotEDIT
The Epiphone ’59 ES-335 Dot was a limited run of Epiphone guitars based on the classic 1959 Gibson ES-335. It is only available through AIMM (Alliance of Independant Music Merchants) dealers and is officially known as “Ltd Ed ’1959 ES-335 DOT”. It features a laminited maple body with a rounded,‘50s profile mahogony glued in, set neck. The scale length is 24.75" with a nicely bound, 14" radius, rosewood fingerboard. Nut width is 1-11/16th". Both the “LockTone” tune-o-matic bridge and the “LockTone” stopbar are NICKEL plated…NOT chrome, as a nod to its heritage. An Epiphone all metal 3-way toggle switch with “aged” cap, vintage tulip tuners, “Limited Edition” logo on the headstock, a period correct label visible through the “F” hole and a "’59 ES-335 DOT" truss rod cover contribute to the unique look of this sweet playing beauty. Epiphone’s much improved, double wax potted “Alnico Classic” pickups in both the neck and bridge position will leave you wondering if your eyes deceive you or maybe a Gibson Dot 335 slipped through with the Epi logo on the headstock. Available in Black and Vintage Sunburst.

Love my new limited edition Epiphone '59 ES-335 Dot
- Pros: Beautiful vintage sunburst maple body, great feeling mahogony set neck, sweet pickups, nicely bound neck and nickel hardware.
- Cons: The "aged" Kluson-like tulip tuners were a bit too green for me but seemed to work well. I swapped them out for a set of Tonepros/Klusons and now the look is complete, they work smooth and hold tune just fine
- Experience: I own it
I think this is the best deal going if you are looking for an ES-335 DOT at a fraction of the cos...

I LOVE IT!
- Pros: Very playable with a solid feeling neck. Nice tone
- Cons: HATE the stupid little applique' E on the pick guard. It was peeling at the corners so I removed it with little problem

The store that I purchased this from had a real Gibson 335. The feel was exactly the same. Not su...

A Great Find!
- Pros: Professional quality, playability and tone at a sane price. I agree with all the pros in the 4 reviews ahead of mine. The Gibson shaped pickguard is a nice touch too. Thrilled by the feel, sustain and rich sound of this instrument.
- Cons: funky sunburst on the sides of the body (black to light yellow) instead of the all dark brown of the original Gibsons. Not an important point to me. The top and back are beautiful though. Poorly cut plastic nut.
- Experience: I own it
I've been playing over 40 years, most of them professionally. I have a nice old Gibson Les Paul a...
