N.Paperman Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 (edited) Hi, does anyone knows the specifications and differences from a standard dot/335? Although made in 2002 (korea) the headstock still has "Gibson" name… is that correct? Is this an edition worth considering? Thank you Alberto Edited September 12, 2022 by N.Paperman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larsongs Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 (edited) If it’s an Epiphone Dot I’ve never heard of them having Gibson on the Headstock in 2002.. I’m not aware of Gibson building Gibson Dot ES335’s in Korea in 2002 either.. Not sure I’ve heard of either, ever..

Red 333 Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 (edited) Lars, the original poster means "Gibson" was on the truss rod cover of his/her Epiphone Dot Deluxe, which was made in Korea. Epiphone did this from about 1986 through 2004 on some models. Epiphones were made in Korea from the early 1980s through the mid 2000s, when production transitioned to (mostly) China . Epiphone now calls the Epiphone Dot the Epiphone Inspired by Gibson ES-335 (or just the Epiphone ES-335). N. Paperman, Dot Deluxes were cosmetic upgrades of the standard Dot. There were several editions, so the features vary, but differences could include gold hardware or a flamed top or both. I don't think any had pickup upgrades.
