Summary: Sweet Dream Guitar
Comment: My Epiphone Vintage Sunburst Dot is just a really nice guitar. The fast fret board, the wide variety of tones I can get from it, and the great looks are all primo. This guitar is terrific for Rock, Blues, or any music genre. I was been saving for a Fender Standard MIM Telecaster when I caught sight of the Epiphone Dots in Vintage Sunburst and one other color, I think it was cherry, were $100 off at the end of 2007. On a whim I decided to go with the Epiphone Dot since I did have enough saved up to buy it. If I didn't like it, I could return it and have my money refunded. Well, I fell in love with it and did not have the slightest desire to send it back. It sounds great played clean or with effects. I play it through a Line 6 Spider III 15 watt amp. My Epiphone Dot is so beautiful to look at and feels so wonderful to hold and play I can't believe I really own this treasure. I've actually lost interest in getting a Tele now that I have this Epiphone gem. If you can't afford a Gibson ES335 the Epiphone Dot, in any color, will fill the order just fine.

Summary: Great Guitar
Comment: I actually have a special edition with a flamed maple sunburst top and gold hardware, which I think looks better and is also the same price. This thing is a really nice instrument. It's gorgeous looking and, despite being a budget guitar, can get gorgeous tone. I've got a 15 watt Line 6 digital amp, and it even sounds great through that. The pickups are '57 Classic Alnicos (I don't know what alnico means, but it's good), and can get nice warm jazzy clean tones, wailing electric blues, fuzzy rock, punk, and thick metal. It sounds awesome on the bridge pickup with full midrange and about 3/4 treble, just enough distortion to get fuzzy power chords, and a bit of reverb. I highly recommend this guitar.
