NEW! Epiphone Inspired By Gibson ES-335 - All New Epiphone ES-335 Guitars

[@motorbikeray]

Dagan's presentation style comes off as being honestly sincere and truly enjoying what he's doing. I enjoyed watching his guitar demo.

[@douggoransson5179]

You have to love watching a guy who loves his work :)

[@Ace-in8qr]

Holy crap, the clean tones in the middle position are amazing. When I invest in a guitar I'm absolutely getting one of these.

[@davidlafond2135]

I bought a Epiphone 335 Pro last year just after they opened back up. Picked it up off the wall and tried it. It felt sooo good to play. I then tried a similar Ibenez model and it felt like I was playing a piece of driftwood someone had brought in from the beach adn hung on the wall. Paid $499 for it and it has been work every penny. I understand his joy at playing this guitar.

[@bassyey]

I got one in Blueberry Burst, looks so good and plays well once set up! I'm a bassist and this is my first electric guitar. I'm satisfied for the $570 (in my country, converted) that I paid for this.

Wow finally the headstock doesn't look like someone's toy mandolin you see on a pile of clothes at a yard sale. Just bought one. And yes, I was that picky this whole time. I know Epiphone is good, but, that old headstock. Yikes.

I just bought one of these based on this review and I haven't been able to put it down. You just seemed so happy when playing this thing. A good guitar can do that to you.

[@MrRubberduck83]

Just bought one myself and completely agree

[@everlymurdoc2327]

Bought one in a Raspberry Tea Burst finish after I finished watching this video! I already have a Sheraton ii Pro but I had to add another semi acoustic to my collection after hearing this. The overall quality in Epiphones (past a certain price point) in recent years is mind blowing considering how much Gibsons are.

[@beableish]

Epiphone always made great instruments and still do ! i still prefer Gibson .

[@Havanacuba1985]

I like Dagans videos as you get an idea of what the guitar looks like standing up when you’re playing it too

Agreed! I just purchased one thru Zzounds last week...its all that and a bag of chips! I'm in love!!

[@dougmorissette459]

I purchased a new Epiphone ES-335 Pro in December. My Christmas present to me. It is made in China and in the Iced Tea finish. It has the classic alnico pickups with coil splitting. It sounds amazing and is a great addition to my Epiphone ES-339 Pro in my now 62 guitars collection.

[@ScoliosisMcGee]

man if only these came out before i got my epiphone dot one year ago. still both great guitar

You can always trade up. A lot of larger music stores will give trade in against a new purchase. You'll have to make up the difference out of pocket. Just a thought.

Don't pay attention to my comment 3 months ago lol. I have purchased 5 Epihones since then and love all of them. Thank you Gibson lol.

[@SETRAAKI]

The best es from epiphone you can find out there is first Es 335 pro if you can find any(they were producing them since 2012to 2019) but they’ve also got push pull switches with block inlays.

[@aitken1965]

"More wood, more mass, more sustain..." or conversely: "Less mass, thinner wood, more sympathetic vibration, more sustain..." Either way, this guitar is a big step up from my old Epiphone 335 "Dot"

[@t.sewell1513]

Dude…that riff at the beginning was dope!

[@TySummerss]

Love that you call it a creamy tone and not muddy.

[@Matthew-e3u7r]

I love your demos Dagan. Thank you.

[@pablo9364]

Ok I got this and then changed it for a Ibanez as93 FM . I preferred the Ibanez . The epiphone fretboard either needed further setting up or there was some fret filing required(ie high frets). The Ibanez fretboard was precise out of the box. The pickups on the Ibanez sounded better to me although the epiphone pickups still sounded quite good. The Ibanez felt and looked slightly more premium with its more flashy top and solid feel and ebony fretboard. Great guitars and some of it subjective/personal preference etc

[@pablo9364]

@@godzoo18 yes it’s very subjective and a personal thing. I wouldn’t rule out an entire brand . You can always be surprised if you pick up a keeper no matter the brand

[@Dami1rush]

Hi, thanks for the video.. could you make demo with the epiphone ES335 figured ? I would like compare the sound... the only difference in the specs is : AAA flame veener for the body.. might be the sound affected?

[@caster3283]

I really like that they have put the lock tone bridges on these. I have a 2015 Gibson satin cherry 335 that has one and they are great. I started with Epi’s in the 90’s and ‘upgraded’ to Gibson’s over the years. My advice to to anyone starting out that’s prefers Les Pauls , SG’s and 335’s to Fenders is stick with Epiphone. They are looking and sounding better than ever and if you gig week in and week out they are all you need. Gibson’s are still amazing but if you’re playing pubs then Epiphones just make more sense.

[@eddieconnor8864]

I have just bought the same guitar you are playing. What a sound.

[@kultigin4695]

Is this a suitable guitar for playing jazz music?

[@millermonsterair]

well, i got one of these here where i live via Musicians Friend here in the US. they ran it as their daily "stupid deal of the day" one day, in the iverness green color and i just HAD to have it. they typically sell for a certain price in the US and because of the "stupid deal of the day", i got it for all of $400usd.. well, plus tax. it came out to $426. and some pennies. worth every cent, let me tell ya. it is by far the best guitar i currently own. it just does EVERYTHING.

[@DH-TV]

Think I've found my new guitar. Great review

[@marktodt3830]

Ty for the reviews, that you do! I just got one of these, in the 'figured' Raspberry Tea Burst. It's AWESOME. Sounds GREAT. Fit/Finish is great. Only 'complaint' is the Tuners have to go....I know they're 'meant to be, Vintage Correct', but..... would've preferred the Grover's they're putting on the Les Paul's. All together though..... NICE JOB Epiphone, on this 'Inspired by Gibson' series, they've put out. I'm a guy, that simply can't afford $4,000 for the 'real deal', and this is an AWESOME alternative for Wayyyy Under, $1,000!!

[@lt.reubenrozeyt5716]

How is it different from the Epiphone Dot?

[@nalukeko]

How is the unplugged sound and volume on these? Obviously no acoustic, but I often noodle without plugging in and a little more volume would be nice.

[@nalukeko]

Never mind, just picked one up. As expected not an acoustic, but slightly louder than a solid body. Decent quality except for sharp frets with scratchy tops. How come other budget brands can get this right? Squier Classic Vibe (under 400) hardly sharp and only slightly scratchy, and Sterling Sub bass (under 300) had a perfect neck.

[@steveandrushko75]

I just bought that same one yesterday same color

[@FeLix-qi7ci]

I would love to see a comparison between this one and an epiphone Sheraton ii pro

[@Haolekine888]

I suspect the Korean Sheraton's with the rosewood fingerboard would be better guitars for the money if you can find one in near mint condition without much inflation.

[@Spedly]

I want to see that. I had a Sheraton II Pro and sold it and regret it. But this model is so gorgeous Im wondering if I should buy this or another Sheraton

[@gustavoloebel]

@@Spedly it depends if you r planning to uograde the pickups and pots go for 335 or Dot. If you will not modify go for Sheraton thst has already better pots with push pulls, nice pickups and better design.

How does this compare to the epiphone dot then?

[@glenrappold5393]

Other than the headstock and neck binding- the biggest difference IMO, is the shape of the neck. Rounded "C" profile on the 335. Slim Taper "D" on the Dot. Also Grover tuners vs. Epi branded Kluson knock offs on the 335.
