Members Blues_N_Rock Posted December 28, 2007 Members Share Posted December 28, 2007 What are the differences between an Epiphone Dot versus a Dot Deluxe? From what I gather, is the difference only the gold plated hardware? Also, are the pickups the same on both models? The description for the Deluxe states a "'57 classic alnico humbuckers" and the Dot simply states "dual humbuckers." Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Townshend Posted December 28, 2007 Members Share Posted December 28, 2007 I think the differences are purely cosmetic. The deluxe has a flamed top and gold hardware; I think that's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The deluxe has a flamed top and gold hardware; I think that's it. That is what I suspected although the flametop and vintage sunburst look a bit similar to me. But the Deluxe does go a bit further in describing there PU whereas the Dot simply states HBs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Blues_N_Rock Posted December 28, 2007 Author Members Share Posted December 28, 2007 From addtional research, it appears the Deluxe is a bit heavier and a majority states that it has a thicker neck. But what is interesting, not everyone agrees to the latter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members zum Posted December 28, 2007 Members Share Posted December 28, 2007 the neck on the deluxe is definetely chunkier.... and the quality on the deluxe is more suspect in my opinion. bleeding paint around the f-holes and some portions not even painted.... I ordered one and returned it. I suggest getting a regular DOT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, the quality on mine is top-notch, with none of the issues you mention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
