Requested by Foo Fighters fanatics for more than a decade, Dave Grohl’s iconic, diamond-clad semi-hollowbody makes its way into standard production with the Epiphone Dave Grohl DG-335. This premium-grade Epiphone immaculately replicates the Grammy winner’s ultra-rare Gibson Custom DG-335 signature model, starting with a crisp and resonant laminated maple body and Trini Lopez–inspired bound diamond-shaped soundholes. Next, the chunky, one-piece mahogany neck proudly supports a laurel fingerboard that’s flush with eye-catching split-diamond mother-of-pearl inlays. It’s all topped off with an angular Firebird-style headstock equipped with Grover Mini Rotomatic tuners, complementing the rock-solid reliability of the LockTone ABR bridge. However, the Epiphone Dave Grohl DG-335’s Gibson Custom inspiration reaches far beyond the aesthetic realm — a superb pair of Gibson USA Burstbucker pickups emboldens the DG-335 with a rich, expressive, and remarkably dynamic humbucking roar that’ll show off the best (the best, the best) of your riffs and rhythms. A professional-grade instrument in every respect, the Epiphone Dave Grohl DG-335 is no pretender; it’s the real deal and ready to fuel your “Everlong” alt-rock aspiration.

Premium Gibson USA Burstbucker pickups 

The Epiphone Dave Grohl DG-335 lives up to its Gibson Custom heritage with a powerful one-two punch of Burstbucker brilliance. This guitar’s Gibson USA Burstbucker pickups — the very same series of pickups found in Grohl’s original Gibson Custom run of DG-335s — deliver an exceptionally warm and dynamic PAF-style bite. From character-filled cleans to the buzzsaw edge of Grohl’s countless alternative anthems, Gibson USA Burstbuckers are an all-purpose sonic monkey wrench that can handle just about anything you can throw at them. Finally, a top-quality electronics configuration consisting of CTS pots, Mallory 150 series capacitors, and a Switchcraft toggle rounds the Epiphone Dave Grohl DG-335 off with a premium edge.

Stout one-piece mahogany neck

A stout one-piece chunk of mahogany forms the Epiphone Dave Grohl DG-335’s neck, carved into an elliptical “C” shape to mirror Grohl’s preferred specs. Music Experience guitarists of all styles appreciate how this slightly chunky shape’s pleasantly full-feeling grip provides a perfect platform to dish out ripping rhythms, expressive leads, and high-energy riffs. Topside, you get a bound laurel fingerboard that’s smooth on your fingers. It’s all capped off with a gorgeous set of split-diamond mother-of-pearl inlays.

A high-performance reimagining of Grohl’s number one ES-335 

Like the Gibson Custom DG-335 that came before it, the Epiphone Dave Grohl DG-335 is essentially a stage-minded re-creation of Grohl’s number one axe: a 1967 Gibson Trini Lopez Signature ES-335, first acquired back when he was merely the drummer of a not-so-little-known Seattle grunge act named Nirvana. In stark contrast to your typical ES-335, Grohl’s signature Trini Lopez–inspired Epiphone boasts a diamond-shaped pair of soundholes, along with a pickguard-less top for a sleeker style. What’s more, the headstock also wears an angular edge with an aggressive-looking Firebird-style design, complete with a rock-solid set of Grover Mini Rotomatic tuners. A high-performance LockTone ABR bridge with a LockTone stopbar tailpiece rounds it all out with a stage-ready edge, delivering superior sustain and stability compared to the Trini Lopez ES-335’s original trapeze tailpiece.
