Epiphone Dave Grohl DG-335 Pelham Blue

Description

Dave Grohl's iconic diamond-inlaid semi-hollowbody electric guitar has been highly sought after for over a decade and has now finally arrived as part of Epiphone's standard range. The Epiphone Dave Grohl DG-335 replicates the Grammy winner's ultra-rare Gibson Custom DG-335, starting with a crisp and resonant laminated maple body with Trini Lopez-inspired diamond-shaped soundholes. Next, it is equipped with the thick mahogany neck, which is crafted from a single piece of wood and finished with an Indian laurel fretboard featuring eye-catching divided diamond inlays in mother-of-pearl. The design is rounded off with an angular Firebird-like headstock, which is equipped with Grover Mini Rotomatic tuning keys that complement the Lock Tone ABR bridge's rock-solid tuning stability and intonation. A pair of Gibson USA Burstbucker pickups equips the DG-335 with a rich, expressive, and remarkably dynamic humbucking roar that kicks ass.

The Epiphone Dave Grohl DG-335 lives up to its Gibson Custom heritage by being equipped with Burstbucker humbucker pickups, the same pickups that Dave's original Gibson Custom DG-335 is equipped with. The pickups deliver an unusually warm and dynamic PAF bite. When it comes to capturing and reproducing the classic Gibson tone, Gibson's Burstbucker pickups have become the pickups you go to. You will love the tight lows, complex midrange, and sweet highs that these pickups contribute. The Burstbucker pickup is one of the biggest and most significant developments Gibson has undergone in recent times, and they recreate the sound of the original PAF humbuckers to perfection. So if you want the time-tested Gibson tone in a classic Gibson electric guitar, then the DG-335 is a good bet. In addition, you get CTS pots, Mallory 150 capacitors, and a Switchcraft switch.

The Epiphone Dave Grohl DG-335's neck is crafted from a solid piece of mahogany, which is carved into an elliptical "C" shape according to Dave's own specifications. This slightly thick shape provides a comfortable, full grip, which is a perfect platform for performing ripping rhythms, expressive leads, and high-energy riffs.

Just like the Gibson Custom DG-335 that came before it, the Epiphone Dave Grohl DG-335 is a stage-minded recreation of Dave's #1 axe: A 1967 Gibson Trini Lopez Signature ES-335. In sharp contrast to the typical ES-335, Dave's signature Trini Lopez-inspired Epiphone is designed with a pair of diamond-shaped soundholes and a pickguard-free body to give the guitar a more polished look. What's more, the headstock has been made more angular to give the guitar a more aggressive look that leans more towards the Firebird. A high-performance Lock Tone ABR bridge with a Lock Tone stopbar delivers superior sustain and stability compared to the Trini Lopez ES-335's original trapeze tailpiece.
