The Arrival of a Rock and Roll Titan




If you’ve ever dreamed of stepping into the shoes of one of modern rock’s most influential guitarists, your moment has arrived. The Epiphone Dave Grohl Signature DG-335 in Pelham Blue has officially landed at Musicmaker, and it’s every bit as powerful, stylish, and electrifying as you’d expect from a guitar bearing Grohl’s name. A tribute to the legendary frontman and Foo Fighters mastermind, this semi-hollow beast is built for players who demand both classic rock tones and modern versatility. Whether you're hammering out aggressive power chords or delivering searing leads, the DG-335 is ready to take your playing to stadium-worthy levels.




Dave Grohl: A Legacy in Rock

To fully appreciate the DG-335, you need to understand the man behind the music. Dave Grohl’s career is the stuff of rock legend. Rising to fame as the drummer for Nirvana in the early ‘90s, Grohl’s thunderous beats helped define grunge music’s golden era. When Nirvana tragically ended, Grohl didn’t just continue—he reinvented himself, stepping out from behind the kit to form Foo Fighters, one of the biggest rock bands of the last three decades. With countless anthems like Everlong, The Pretender, Best of You, and My Hero, Grohl has cemented his reputation as one of the greatest musicians of all time.

A huge part of Grohl’s iconic sound comes from his choice of guitar. For years, he wielded a custom Gibson Trini Lopez ES-335, a rare and distinctive semi-hollow model. That same guitar became the foundation for the DG-335, blending vintage aesthetics with modern reliability to deliver the perfect rock and roll machine. Now, thanks to Epiphone, this legendary instrument is available to guitarists everywhere—without the eye-watering price tag of a Gibson Custom Shop model.




The Design: A Fusion of Classic and Modern

The DG-335 is a bold take on the semi-hollow guitar concept, merging the time-honoured elegance of the Gibson ES-335 with the unmistakable styling of the Trini Lopez model. What does that mean? You get diamond-shaped soundholes instead of traditional f-holes, adding a unique touch while also enhancing resonance and sustain. The elongated, six-in-line headstock, reminiscent of a Firebird, not only looks striking but also contributes to the guitar’s signature tone and tuning stability.

The body itself is crafted from layered maple and poplar, ensuring a crisp attack with plenty of warmth. A solid maple center block runs through the middle, taming feedback while allowing the DG-335 to retain the airy, open sound that makes semi-hollow guitars so appealing. It’s a guitar that feels alive in your hands, responding dynamically to every touch.

And then, of course, there’s the Pelham Blue finish—an absolute showstopper. Cool, vintage, and dripping with rock and roll attitude, this colour has been a favourite among legendary players, and it makes the DG-335 impossible to ignore on stage.




Playability: Built for the Stage and Studio

Grohl is a high-energy performer, and his signature guitar needs to match his intense playing style. That’s why the DG-335 is fitted with a one-piece mahogany neck, featuring a comfortable elliptical 'C' profile that makes both rhythm chugging and lead shredding feel effortless. The Indian laurel fingerboard is smooth and fast under the fingers, adorned with striking mother-of-pearl split diamond inlays.

The 24.75” scale length ensures that bends are easy and expressive, while the 22 medium-jumbo frets provide just the right amount of grip and sustain. Whether you’re laying down intricate melodic passages or pounding out crunchy riffs, this neck delivers playability without compromise.




The Sound: Pure Rock and Roll Power

A guitar is only as good as its pickups, and Epiphone made no compromises here. The DG-335 is equipped with Gibson USA Burstbucker pickups, specifically a Burstbucker 2 in the neck and a Burstbucker 3 in the bridge. These are among the most highly revered PAF-style pickups, known for their ability to deliver everything from warm, articulate cleans to searing, high-output distortion.

  • The Burstbucker 2 (neck) pickup offers rich, vintage warmth, perfect for soulful leads and clean passages.
  • The Burstbucker 3 (bridge) cranks up the heat, pushing your amp into harmonically rich overdrive, making it ideal for gritty rhythms and soaring solos.

Between these two pickups and the semi-hollow body’s natural resonance, the DG-335 has an incredibly wide tonal range, making it just as capable of handling delicate bluesy licks as it is full-blown rock anthems.




Hardware: Rock-Solid Reliability

No matter how hard you push it, the DG-335 is built to stay in tune and perform flawlessly. It’s outfitted with:

  • LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge for precise intonation and rock-solid stability.
  • LockTone Stop Bar tailpiece for enhanced sustain and tuning consistency.
  • Grover Mini Rotomatic tuners, ensuring smooth, accurate tuning adjustments every time.

These high-quality components ensure that whether you’re thrashing on stage or laying down tracks in the studio, the DG-335 remains tight, reliable, and always ready to perform.
