Arena ready semi hollow power with Dave Grohl attitude
If you have ever watched Foo Fighters level a festival and thought “that tone,” this is that sound in your hands without the vintage signature price tag. The Epiphone Dave Grohl DG-335 nails the ES style punch, Trini Lopez flair, and rock solid reliability that Grohl has leaned on for decades.
ES body meets Trini Lopez style in Pelham Blue
This is a semi hollow ES style body with a maple centerblock, so you get airy resonance and bloom without uncontrollable howl when the stage volume comes up. The layered maple and poplar construction keeps things lively and focused, while the bound diamond shaped sound holes give it that unmistakable Grohl silhouette.
Single ply white binding on the top, back, sound holes, and fretboard sharpens the lines and looks killer against the Pelham Blue gloss finish. Under stage lights it goes from classy to aggressive in a heartbeat.
Elliptical C neck that feels broken in from day one
The one piece mahogany neck with an elliptical C profile hits that sweet spot between slim and substantial, so your hand stays relaxed whether you are bashing out power chords or stretching for wide interval runs. The glued in set neck joint adds sustain and gives you that solid, connected feel right up the neck.
A 12 inch radius laurel fingerboard, 22 medium jumbo frets, and mother of pearl split diamond inlays make bends feel buttery and keep chords clean all the way up. It feels familiar if you come from Les Paul or ES territory, but the carve is just a little more ergonomic and fast.
Gibson USA Burstbuckers for stadium ready tone
Real talk. The secret sauce here is the pickup and wiring recipe. A Gibson USA Burstbucker 2 in the neck and Burstbucker 3 in the bridge give you that open, slightly raw PAF flavor that sits perfectly in a mix.
Clean, they are glassy and three dimensional with plenty of chime on top. Push your amp and they tighten up, delivering the crunchy midrange grind that lets Grohl style riffs slam without getting muddy. CTS pots, Mallory caps, and Switchcraft switch and jack keep the response smooth and reliable night after night.
Hardware that stays locked in on stage
The nickel hardware is all business. The LockTone Tune O Matic bridge and stop bar tailpiece clamp down on sustain and help keep tuning stable, even when you are digging in hard or changing tunings between songs.
Grover Mini Rotomatic tuners feel precise and hold pitch like a champ, so you spend more time playing and less time babysitting the headstock. No pickguard, black mounting rings, and black top hat knobs with nickel reflectors keep the look clean and focused on that Pelham Blue body.
