Click image for closeup

New for 2005, Epiphone has unveiled three 'worn-in' finishes, lending a vintage quality to these guitars that brings them even closer to the original Gibson ES-335, while maintaining the value that has made the range so successful. The three new finishes offered this year are Worn Brown, Worn Cherry and Worn Sunburst.

The new Dot Studios feature a comfortable semi-solid body with intuitive control layout, while the set maple neck promises to soak up the trials of life on the road. Tonally, the new Epiphone Dot Studios are supplied with Alnico Classic pickups and a hot item in the bridge position for even more sonic diversity, while such dues-paying hardware as Grover Rotomatic tuners and a tune-o-matic bridge ensure that this guitar is a perfect choice as a live or studio guitar.
