Grohl’s Iconic Semi Hollow, Finally Within Reach
Dave’s tone is bigger than life, but this Epiphone Dave Grohl DG-335 makes that sound and feel surprisingly reachable. Semi hollow ES punch, Trini Lopez attitude, and real Gibson USA Burstbuckers all come together in a Pelham Blue rocket that is ready for loud stages and late night sessions.
ES-335 Soul With Trini Lopez Edge
This is not just another semi hollow. The DG-335 blends classic ES-335 lines with diamond sound holes and that Trini Lopez style headstock for a look that is pure rock royalty. The layered maple and poplar body with a solid maple centerblock gives you that airy semi hollow resonance, but with enough focus and control to handle big amps and gain without falling apart.
Single ply white binding on the top, back, sound holes, and fretboard frames the Pelham Blue gloss finish in a way that looks just as good under stage lights as it does in your studio. It feels like a guitar you have seen on arena stages for years, because you have.
Elliptical C Neck That Lets You Dig In
The one piece mahogany neck with an elliptical C profile hits that sweet spot between slim and substantial. It fills your hand just enough to keep your fretting relaxed, without ever feeling like a baseball bat that slows you down. Real talk, it is the kind of neck you stop thinking about so you can just play.
The laurel fingerboard, 12 inch radius, and 22 medium jumbo frets make bends smooth and controlled while keeping chords clean all over the neck. Add the Graph Tech nut and dual action truss rod and you get a neck that sets up low and stays that way, whether you are tuned standard, dropped, or somewhere in between.
Burstbucker Power With Pro Level Electronics
The pickups are where a lot of signature models cut corners. Not here. You get Dave’s preferred Gibson USA Burstbucker 2 in the neck and Burstbucker 3 in the bridge, wired up with CTS pots, Mallory caps, and Switchcraft switch and jack. That is the same family of parts you see in high end Gibson builds.
Clean, the neck pickup is warm and open with plenty of glass on top, perfect for roomy chords and melodic lines. Roll over to the bridge and you get tight low end, upper mid bite, and the kind of crunch that loves big rock riffs and aggressive right hand attack. Hit a driven amp or your favorite pedals and the guitar stays articulate instead of turning into mush.
Stage Ready, Studio Approved
Semi hollow guitars can be a handful at volume, but the maple centerblock keeps the DG-335 controlled and punchy even when the band gets loud. You get that breathing, three dimensional bloom on sustained notes without runaway feedback every time you step near your cab.
The LockTone Tune O Matic bridge and stop bar tailpiece, Grover Mini Rotomatic tuners, and nickel hardware keep things locked in, night after night. At around 7.9 pounds it sits in the Goldilocks zone for a semi hollow, balanced on a strap and comfortable for long sets or long mix sessions.
