Epiphone Dot Royale

[separator_dots]

Overview/Summary

[bquote]The Epiphone Dot Goes Uptown with the Dot Royale. The Epiphone Dot was introduced over ten years ago, and since then, Epiphone’s version of the venerable Gibson ES-335 “Dot” has been wowing guitar players all over the world.[/bquote] Now, the Dot Royale gives the ES-335 Dot tradition a whole new makeover with a stunning pearl white finish, gold sparkle binding and gold hardware totally unlike anything Epiphone has offered before. Though Epiphone was long famous for its own original semi-hollowbody models from the 1960’s Kalamazoo, Michigan era, including the Riviera and Sheraton, the simple, classic ES-335 style was missing, especially among the more affordable models. The introduction of the Epiphone Dot – called that in reference to it’s simple “dot” fingerboard inlays – opened up the availability of the sustain and resonance of the semi-hollow design for a bounty less than most solid body guitars. Now with the Dot Royale, that classic sound has an all new look.
