Epiphone's collaboration with Dave Grohl culminates in the release of the Dave Grohl DG-335, a guitar paying homage to Grohl's enduring presence in the music industry. As part of the Inspired by Custom Collection, this instrument marks a new chapter for Epiphone with premium features and high-quality electronics.
Drawing inspiration from Grohl's previous Gibson signature guitars, the Dae Grohl DG-335 combines elements of the ES-335 and the Trini Lopez model. The instrument features a semi-hollow ES™ body with bound diamond-shaped sound holes, a one-piece mahogany neck, and Grover® Mini Rotomatic® tuners. Equipped with Dave's preferred Gibson USA Burstbucker™ pickups and wired to CTS® potentiometers, the DG-335 offers exceptional tonal versatility.
The release of the Dave Grohl DG-335 coincides with Foo Fighters' global stadium tour, reinforcing Grohl's influence in contemporary rock music.
