The Wait is Over - Now You Can Have It All

Dave Grohl is an alternative rock legend who needs no introduction. A longtime Gibson user, his previous Gibson signature guitars have remained extraordinarily popular and command premium prices on the used market—when you can find one. Now Epiphone is extremely proud to once again partner with Gibson Custom on the release of the Dave Grohl DG-335. It features the combination of ES-335 and Trini Lopez model features Dave requested and that fans expect, including a semi-hollow ES™ body with bound diamond-shaped sound holes, a one-piece mahogany neck with an elliptical profile, Trini Lopez-style headstock with Grover® Mini Rotomatic® tuners, laurel fretboard, and split diamond inlays. The pickups are Dave’s preferred Gibson USA Burstbucker™ models, with a Burstbucker 2 in the neck and a Burstbucker 3 in the bridge position. They’re wired to CTS® potentiometers, Mallory™ capacitors, and a Switchcraft® 3-way toggle switch and 1/4” output jack. This is one of the most requested models in Epiphone’s history, so we are X-Static to offer this exceptional guitar to players worldwide. An Epiphone Dave Grohl hardshell case is also included.

Of course, it's a matter of personal preference whether a guitar has a thicker neck, but if you don't have small fingers, it works fine. Compared to my 50' Paulas, it's possibly a bit bulkier, but for me, it's still in the "very OK" range. Before purchasing, I researched extensively online, which is why I mentioned this point. Otherwise, the build quality, components, and sound are all excellent. Based on some reviews I've read, I had the saddle replaced immediately upon receiving the guitar from Musix (which was a great service, by the way). I'm not sure if this is what caused the initial tuning instability, or if the guitar was already very stable from the start. Finally, I added two Schaller "SnapLock" bridges and was ready to play. In summary, this is a great guitar right out of the box, that is enjoyable to play, look at, and listen to.
