Dave Grohl's Epiphone signature model broke the Internet last year – now, it can be yours for a fraction of the original price, thanks this massive Cyber Monday discount

The Everlong wait was over when Dave Grohl's signature model was announced under Gibson's Epiphone brand last year. Arguably the most in-demand signature in the brand's history, the affordable take meant that fans could acquire Grohl's sought-after sound without shelling out thousands for the Gibson Custom Shop signature model.

“Dave Grohl is an alternative rock legend who needs no introduction,” Epiphone commented upon the release.

“A longtime Gibson user, his previous Gibson signature guitars have remained extraordinarily popular and command premium prices on the used market – when you can find one.”

Originally priced at around $1.3K, it's now even more affordable thanks to Sweetwater's Cyber Monday deal – meaning it can now be yours for $999.

Epiphone Dave Grohl DG-335 Semi-hollowbody Electric Guitar - Pelham Blue: was $1,299 now $999 at Sweetwater Sound

Foo Fighters fans have waited over a decade, and the Epiphone Dave Grohl DG-335 finally delivers the iconic, diamond-clad semi-hollowbody at a price the general populace can afford. With its laminated maple build, Trini Lopez–style diamond soundholes, chunky mahogany neck, split-diamond inlays, Firebird-style headstock and Grover Mini Rotomatics, it nails the look and feel of Grohl’s ultra-rare Gibson Custom original. Best of all, a pair of Gibson USA Burstbuckers gives it the same rich, dynamic humbucking roar behind Grohl’s biggest riffs.

So, aside from Grohl's name being attached to it, what makes this premium-grade Epiphone signature model special?

Well, for starters, it immaculately replicates the Foo Fighters frontman's ultra-rare Gibson Custom DG-335 model, with a laminated maple body and Trini Lopez–inspired bound diamond-shaped soundholes – and its instantly recognizable Pelham Blue finish, of course.

Next, the one-piece mahogany neck, carved into Grohl’s preferred elliptical “C” shape, boasts a laurel fingerboard with striking split-diamond mother-of-pearl inlays. Grohl’s iconic tone is delivered thanks to Gibson USA Burstbucker pickups – the very same series found on his OG – along with an electronics configuration made up of Mallory 150 series capacitors, CTS pots, and a Switchcraft toggle. Finally, Grover Mini Rotomatic tuners and the ever-reliable LockTone ABR bridge with a LockTone stopbar tailpiece round off this guitar's serious specs.

Safe to say, this model’s no Pretender! No wonder Guitar World’s very own Stuart Williams called it a guitar that “goes beyond Foo Fighters. This is essentially a rock-friendly ES-335, and it’s got the firepower to cover everything from blues to indie to classic rock tones with ease.”
