I have a white DOT Studio as well and it's one of my favorite guitars. The stock pickups BURN!! They have more character and gain than many replacement pickups I've installed. I call this the "Tuxedo" guitar cuz it looks & sounds so classy. Nice vid--thanks for sharing!
Good score it you found a white DOT in stock at your local retailer. You're one of the lucky ones, as Epiphone has stopped making the white Dot. Congrats!
Hey man nice Dot! I bought this same guitar about a year ago. They don't make this model anymore in arctic white so I had to meet up with a guy in a parking in another town. I bought it from him out of his van for 360 with a case! But it was so worth it, this thing sounds great. Recommended for most genres, great guitar. Great playing too sir, keep on rockin!
Got a natural finish one but with Dimarzio pickups installed and it goes off!!! Most versitile guitar ever - beautiful cleans and awesome distorted too, plus great blues guitar. DMs give you a more defined tone and ballsy base. Favourite guitar - a gig machine for versatility!
At the end I'm just using the Line 6 foot controller to change patches on the amp. I switch over to one of my distortion patches. Thanks and best wishes on you learning guitar!! Enjoy!!
I've never tried the Skatterbranes or Fralins or Wolftones or any of those. I would love to though! One brand I've really been impressed with from the clips I've heard were WB Pickups. I really want to get a set of those sometime.
My error. I must have been thinking of another guitar. I believe Les Paul studio models are bolt-ons if I'm not again mistaken. I'm more a fan of set and thru necks myself. I appreciate the additional craftsmanship, like something built to last. I currently have Ibanez EX170 (bolt) :(, Epi Les Paul Peewee (bolt), Peavey JF1 Sunburst (set) and Epi Les Paul Standard in figured red (set).
They sound about the same to me. The DOT Studio is a little brighter I think. But overall... pretty much the same. I highly recommend it! Great guitar and very affordable!
You're a kick-ass player, man. Congrats! I looked into the Gibson 335 (too expensive!) and Epiphone Dot, which I would have preferred for the price. I don't see a great deal of difference in tone or playability between the two. Anyway, I ended up by buying a Peavey JF-1. Sweet guitar, like a 335 or Dot with few minor differences, such as an underside 1/4 jack and tapered headstock. Didn't like the Dot studio line due to minimalist control panel and bolted (as opposed to set or thru) neck.
tom delonge doesnt use an epiphone dot studio he uses a gibson es-333 with dirty fingers pickup and a custum stripe. it looks like an epiphone dot studio though
just wondering, when you dont play with an amp how much sound can you hear out of the guitar, im planning to get one but im planning to play it with headphones in the amp and dont want there to be much sound coming from the guitar, would be amazing if you got back to me, thankyou x also your guitr playing is amazing
I have the same guitar/color... but upgraded w/seymour duncan pearly gates... changed the black hardware to chrome.. & added a black 335 pickgaurd... sweeeet guitars!!.. but im mostly a piano player... go figure!
i got the a dot studio, too. in red. but is it only me or are the strings breaking so fast? especially the high e one. my other guitars seem to have a much longer string life time^^ but other than that, it's a great guitar!
i saw you epi vs 335 comparison.. does the combined tone volume for both pickups affect tone at all? I prefer this configuration better for playing live. Have you tried boutique PAF pickups, such as skatterbrane?
i have the exact same one well the wood finish one and i must say from the recent comment bellow this guitars actually ballsy enough to play cannibal corpse i must add...haha but u just inspired me to play much more classic music with mine..i just need to find the proper set up for the bridge can u help me with that..??
do you find the dot 'studio' to be lesser in tone than the epi dot 335 copy or are they tonally the same -- i'm specifically interest in the single pair of volume and tone pots for live playing.. I find the 335 has too many knobs!!! ha! cheers
Does This Thing Good Clean Tones Like Rhythm Guitar Sounds... I play Acoustic Guitar And I was Wondering If i Could Get A Satisfying Tone Out Of One OF These Things
nice. is the white one still available though? i've been checking sites all around the net, these babies are down to three colors left: black, cherry, and brown i think?
Out of curiosity, what pedal are you using at the end there? I'm looking to start playing guitar...and honestly your video's are helping me pick which guitar to start with. Keep posting the great videos!
us men, we gat a shirt we like..then get two more in different colours...we get our underwear in packs of three also t shirts..but you...you have to get your epiphone dot studio's in three packs as well... nice playin dude
does any one know how much the epiphone les paul weighs? i still cant decide witch one to get... the dot studio or lp studio -_- and im upgrading from a squier strat soo... my preferences are Rock, Punk, Hardcore
Hello since this one ............... agame a favor I am of peru bright green and am looking for a guitar epiphone EMPEROR SWINGSTER ROYALE and not since I can find the buyer or the link of his facebook or name and surname of the seller of these guitars gustaria q was helping myself please
Good stuff, all your playing has inspired me to get back into seeing what I can do with my sheraton, lots of fun. Thanks
I love your playing and your guitar collection DC. Keep posting vids, man its great stuff.

@zoeezoomorphist It's a little louder than a solid body electric but not as loud as an acoustic guitar.
That was one of my first guitars, great memories.
Good score it you found a white DOT in stock at your local retailer. You're one of the lucky ones, as Epiphone has stopped making the white Dot.

Now THAT is one good looking guitar. You have quite a collection.
This guy is amazing, nobody should comment badly about him (not saying they have) and I love that guitar now!!! GREAT DEMO
the Studio is a good platform for modding, due to its simple design...and it comes in a lot of cool colours
Sweet tone and feel. A real good-time sound !
Yes. I believe the white DOT Studios were discontinued. But they pop up on ebay every once in a while.
At the end I'm just using the Line 6 foot controller to change patches on the amp. I switch over to one of my distortion patches. Thanks and best wishes on you learning guitar!! Enjoy!!
Awesome! I'd like to say i've seen you in a Epiphone vs Gibson SG video before too.
I've never tried the Skatterbranes or Fralins or Wolftones or any of those. I would love to though! One brand I've really been impressed with from the clips I've heard were WB Pickups. I really want to get a set of those sometime.
5 stars nice playing my man and GREAT guitar almost got me a worn brown but they stopped making them going for the VS now.
It came that way. Epiphone has since dis-continued the alpine white ones.
I can't find the white one for sale anywhere. Its the best one in my opinion. Great tune dude!

wow great sounds man
Thanks BluesZep!! And I still have the Classic 30. I NEVER plan on selling it! : )
I think they owe him a spot in the next Epiphone commercial at the very least!
I bought it on it's own off ebay. They don't make the white ones anymore. So you have to find 'em used.
I have an Epiphone LP Standard with quilted maple top stained in red. With strap it weighs 8.6 lbs. Hope this helps.
tom delonge doesnt use an epiphone dot studio he uses a gibson es-333 with dirty fingers pickup and a custum stripe.
it looks like an epiphone dot studio though
beautiful Color
I had to make the same choice and I went with the Epiphone Dot Deluxe Flametop. It looks a lot better than the studios (in my opinion).
just wondering, when you dont play with an amp how much sound can you hear out of the guitar, im planning to get one but im planning to play it with headphones in the amp and dont want there to be much sound coming from the guitar, would be amazing if you got back to me, thankyou x also your guitr playing is amazing
Really like these riffs.. Are they originals? Normally I don't like the bluesy stuff, but man, wow.
I have the same guitar/color... but upgraded w/seymour duncan pearly gates... changed the black hardware to chrome.. & added a black 335 pickgaurd... sweeeet guitars!!.. but im mostly a piano player... go figure!

Nice playing Dave. I take it you have to hang your guitars on a wall. I just got a Line 6 Spider 30 watt and I am well pleased. ;)
Very Nice sir !
Ha! That's cool!! I don't know a lot of death metal, but I really like Cannibal Corpse! They're bad ass! : )

May be getting one! Hopefully it won't just sit unplayed next to my Gibson...
As usual, great tone!
Congrats for the new guitar!
What about your Classic30? Did you sell it?
Out of curiosity, what pedal are you using at the end there?
I'm looking to start playing guitar...and honestly your video's are helping me pick which guitar to start with. Keep posting the great videos!

@Plocky241 It's just the Line 6 Spider distortion.
shit with tht distortion im am deff getting this guitar
I need to know! where did you get your guitar painted?! ive wanted to paint mine for sooo long. did it kill the tone on it?
Have you heard of the Epiphone Dot Limited Edition ES-335? I am thinking of getting it..? Is it like the Dot Studio?
I just got one of these, same colour too :)
Check out the vid, nowhere near this level of playing but the tone is awesome!
@bandostyle I would assume that yes. it would be sexy for reggae/ska, unless you wanna play Reel Big Fish, but even then, who knows :P
Hi again, did you make any changes to the white guitar? New pick ups? Or everything just stock?
i have it in baby blue. its pretty.
You Gaylord
Nice Job! How many guitar do you have :)
wow your good...how many guitars do you have dude
I stand corrected. : )
this guitar only has two knobs. Does that mean you can't adjust the volume/tone on one of the pickups? i.e. why do people need four normally? anybody?
does any one know how much the epiphone les paul weighs? i still cant decide witch one to get... the dot studio or lp studio -_-
and im upgrading from a squier strat soo...
my preferences are Rock, Punk, Hardcore
reminds me of a greatful dead song! lots of Jerry Garcia infuence i susspect!
very nice i was looking at one today and im going to trade in my guitar for it :)
would this be good for something like relient k or mayday parade?
Does the Epiphone Dot Studio have coil tapping?
is it a good guitar for ska and reggae?
is the dot studio better then the epiphone les paul studio just wondering.. oh and does any one know how much this weighs
I just ordered an Epiphone DOT Studio. But I'm not going to make it sound this good ;)
later,
Tater
@dcooper830 is natural or white? (the guitar)
Hello since this one ............... agame a favor I am of peru bright green and am looking for a guitar epiphone EMPEROR SWINGSTER ROYALE and not since I can find the buyer or the link of his facebook or name and surname of the seller of these guitars gustaria q was helping myself please
Do the Deluxe and studio vary in sound?
is it wierd not having inlays
anyone know what songs this guy plays?
what distortion pedal are you using?
No cause the dots are still on top of the neck.
oh ok and do u want to sell me that white studio??? lol
@Punkid1030 ebay
A dot studio is only $300 brand new. Used is even less than that.
too bad that the white finish looks the best out of all of them :(
weights 8.6 lbs
I've got black
It's got no dots, fuck knows why it's call a dot
stay away from the spider
the cubes are way nicer
