Two hollow 'wings' with f-holes sit on either side of a solid block of mahogany or maple on which the pickups, bridge and tailpiece are mounted, which makes it less prone to feedback than a fully hollow-bodied guitar. The Dot has a semi-hollow body made of laminated maple. Reviews describe it as a robustly-constructed, versatile guitar with a smooth, powerful sound, suitable for jazz, blues and some rock styles, but lacking the high output required for heavy metal. It was introduced in 1997 as a more affordable version of the Gibson ES-335, at the high end of entry-level pricing. The Epiphone Dot is a semi-hollow archtop electric guitar manufactured by Epiphone, a subsidiary of Gibson.
