Epiphone Dot Studio test

[jpablosnm]

its available left-handed?

[SuperAragorn666]

Would this sound like an acoustic unplugged??

[Rocker5234]

how much did it cost?

[1actionkamen]

i must say i prefer dot studio to standard dot. not everyone realizes it is a very different guitar due to mahogany body instead of maple.

[92796Apollo]

@1actionkamen Wouldn't you say mahogany is a superior tonewood? Versus maple, I mean.

[iplayguitar420]

I was expecting some metallica =I

[WhoopiDude]

Just picked up one of these exact models on ebay yesterday. Cannot wait for it to get here!

[bondog333]

What are these like with distortion??

[IIIIjimmyIIII]

i have a question,is this guitar like an acoustic?the wholes make it look like the insides would be like a acoustic,i want to get one but im scared it will break easily

[MrDannyboyhall]

@IIIIjimmyIIII its semi hollow which means it has a solid middle section which make them quite strong i have one and it can take a beating and they sound very very nice

[IIIIjimmyIIII]

@MrDannyboyhall thanks,would you say these are only good for music that soesnt use distortion?im planning on using it for my metal core/post-hardcore band.i know its wierd,trying to start something new haha.ive heard it just depends on the pedals and amps.

[MrDannyboyhall]

@IIIIjimmyIIII hell no i use mine to play with massive distortion and it just gets better this guitar is so versatile it can play anything but yeah it depends on pedals and amps you use but the guitar is capable of playing almost anything

[IIIIjimmyIIII]

@MrDannyboyhall haha alright thanks man

[dvdsmlprstylr]

I saw your t-shirt and thought oh no....but then you played sweet sweet blues.

brilliant.

[minipengu123]

looks awesome, sounds awesome.

[paulgaudinjrBCN]

does it have markings for the frets along the side?

[alextssheehan1]

@paulgaudinjrBCN yes, it does

[tylurcousins]

its a $300 dollar guitar and plays like an $1000. im geting one in two or three weeks

[Pollandtheawesome]

what kind of amp did you use? I've seriously been looking for that sound!

[RWJ1990]

Needs a rounder tone and the action looks really high

[TheRealSonicYouth]

I want one of these are they good for grunge or with distortion really?

[mrboogie107]

are you recomend me to buy that guitar?

[121anz]

is it unplugged?!

[TheRyannosaurus]

I love your playing style, it's relaxing and soulful.You have talent bro, keep it up :D

[chronicfink]

[TheKaosZeroTwo]

[canibaldance]

hey dude that guitar is soo sexy :D

[scottladoucheable]

Needs fralins......

[bradleythebear17]

i've been offered this guitar for 250 - i have 100. and uptight parents. and i need to get a delay pedal. i'm in a post rock band and we have a big gig coming up soon, buying this would be a gamble, what dyou think i should do?

[killertubes]

I paid 235 used from musicians friend it rocks at the local music center here they go for 300

[GarryJacksonRecords]

Great playing!

[crazyawesome68]

do you recommend getting this guitar?

and how much is it?

[tegolin]

Kind of strange they took away the dots on the Dot.

[21Placebo]

nice playing

[nevikmoore]

Nice clean blues licks. Classy, too.

[dirtpezz]

i think the studio looks like crap, the dot looks so much better

[latertodeath]

do u think it can play punk music like blink 182 and green day shit like that :D

[psygodnp]

not maple though. its made of mahogany

[jackelderenbos]

witch amp you used in this video? ^^

[BOX5]

I'm picking mine up on new years day.

[oleold]

I think I'm going to get me one because I like the sound I want to make some smooth jazz tracks and I think this guitar would be perfect for that.

[RajzerM]

where can i buy this for $200?

[enigmasadrenaline6]

if u live in england go wembley

[killertubes]

you can't

[mrboverbro]

you can

at my local guitar center

[bandostyle]

i think that your hands are better of your gear

[ci4pp3r]

Nice!

Are you using an amp here? I'm interested on buying this guitar and I wanted to know if it sounds loud as acoustic guitars or similars even if not put through an amp...

Cheerz! ; )

ps: Nice fuckin shirt! :D

[EnvyInc]

This guitar would need to be amplified to hear it over even normal conversation. This isn't an acoustic guitar. It's a semi-hollowbody with chambers in the body that add a certain woodiness and openness to the amplified tone.

[ci4pp3r]

Ok, I see, thank you. : )

[mrboverbro]

awesome guitar for $200

[killertubes]

300

[mrboverbro]

at my local guitar center there selling it for 200

[RajzerM]

Where is your local guitar center and is it on sale or used?

[mrboverbro]

albany its used

[JohnIrvingRock]

I used to have this guitar. *sigh*

[parlbyview]

damn i love the sound of my Dot studio with action hiked up it's sweet for slide blues :)

[guiguidh]

It's great song but i love Metallica also...

[ROCKGOD612]

[MilitantOldLady]

[LeonardJHarris]

[pdkobet]

[1ThoughtTheives]

how about you give me those tone and Vol knobs so i can match with ma black epi dot and you can have brown that ive got lol have we got a deal :P

[collectionoftunes]

I also use a dot studio with a valve junior, epiphone is making some good stuff for cheap!

[MrWhositMagig]

Take the Valve Junior, for instance

[arikharris]

That's simply a good sound.

[nmn1988]

Thanx man =)

[al3xgilb3rt]

rofl, wearing a metallica shirt and playing soothing music, nice

[nmn1988]

Hahahahaa

[cheechandchongfreak]

i like Blues and Rock, should i get this guitar or the Tele? man you rock!!

[nmn1988]

Get a Tele I suppose..get the one with a single coil and a humbucker..get a little bit of both sounds..I think Fender has a model with that spec..or maybe Squire..hope tht helps

[NH165]

I wanna get one of these!!!!

[serbinator69]

ive got one of those!! hahah and for free lol

[1ThoughtTheives]

how the fuck lol

[serbinator69]

it was a gift haha. and it came with 2 new packs of strings and a hard case :D

[MFJord1]

could you gig with that guitar?

[nmn1988]

Yes you can. And it's awesome

[nmn1988]

Yes you can..and its awesome!

[tsuei05]

@MFJord1 I play mostly high end Fenders and PRS, I have gigged my Dot Studio and it keeps up :) best bang for the buck I have ever had in a guitar. You just need to find the right one and make sure it has a proper setup

[gianenudo]

[codemonkey615552]

Dude pleassse tell me where you get that dot studio, and how much it cost ( thanks!)

[nmn1988]

It was on sale actually, before christmas last year..costs me 299euros..bought it in Dublin..cheers!!!

[jgk381]

@nmn1988 did you have to do any modifications to get this sound, ie new pickups, strings, etc. or does it sound this good new?

[adioskater29]

Do you get a lot of feedback with this guitar i have had many other semi- hollow bodies and they all feedback too much

[nmn1988]

I do get a lot of feedback from this guitar...semi hollow bodies always does..just need to be able to control the feedback then it'll not become a problem...Hendrix used feedback to great effect!!! Cheers!

[131242313424]

Just got this guitar yesterday, sounds awesome!

Where can I learn to improvise like you?

[nmn1988]

Listen to songs..lots of them..and try to play along, add your own licks to it..it really helps..cheers!

[GibsonLesPaul1319]

can it play acoustic too?

[131242313424]

Well it's an electric guitar. It's got some sound unplugged, but not as much as an actual acoustic. So I would say no.

[kenisinoregon]

i love that sound! mmmm~mmmmmm~~! thats some good stufff

[kenisinoregon]

hey what were u playing? if its like a song or something i want the tab please :D

[nmn1988]

It's not a song..I just made everything up on the spot..cheers

[Niox117]

Hey does it have fret markers on the side of the fretboard? thanks-Niox

[nmn1988]

Yes, there are markers on the side of the fretboard..it's a bit awkward at first playing without the pearl markers on the frets, but I'm used to it already..cheers

[jka1989]

Put Gibson Dirty fingers pickups on this motherfucker and...WOW!

[nmn1988]

Yup..I'm thinking of swapping new pickups..maybe a a pair of P-90s..that would be awesome..cheers

[69fucku3]

ha ha that thing would have get alot of feedback

[GuitarSnipper]

Nice blues sound you got there. Keep up the good work. :)

[nmn1988]

Thanx man..cheers

[esj200vs]

[nmn1988]

Thanx man..B.B. King a huge influence on me

[dsloveskc]
