This is the third one I’ve owned, great feeling guitar. And it can get a heavy sound to it. I do a lot of C standard tuning and play sludge also go back to E standard and do that Clutch style. As matter of fact I’ve never even have played a blink song on it lol. It’s just a cool comfortable guitar and I’m a huge fan of the dirty fingers pickup. AMS always comes through and the payment plan has been a good option for me.

Hands down the nicest guitar I’ve ever played

Product Review
I’ve wanted the Tom DeLonge signature model for years, but could never afford to shell out for the Gibson model. I was hesitant about getting the epiphone version because I wasn’t sure if it would match the Gibson’s quality. Well let me assure you that it is almost identical in every way. I’ve played both the Gibson and now the epiphone models, and for the life of me I can’t figure out how epiphone managed to pack the quality and craftsmanship of the Gibson into this ~$500 guitar. This is now my go to guitar for studio work, and I’m so glad I decided to bite the bullet and purchase it. Thanks epiphone!

If Tom Delonge didn’t bring you hear, then it must be the Gibson Dirty Pickups! They sound incredible to ensure you don’t put the guitar down. The pictures on this website do not represent how truly awesome this guitar looks, feels and sounds. Absolutely worth the price tag. Incredibly fast shipping!

Gibson Guts

This guitar feels and sounds just like the Gibson model ES-333 only at a better price point. You won’t be disappointed in the Dirty Fingers pick ups on this beautiful hollow body guitar. The neck is smooth with a beautiful finish. A simple guitar with only a volume knob for those who like to crank it up and rock out! Perfect for a Blink 182 fan who wants to emulate Tom Delonges style!

Punk Rock Delight

Simply put, most of you are here buying this wanting the classic blink tone. While obviously you need a decent rig to get the true sound you’re looking for, this guitar provides exactly what you’re looking for. The fretboard plays like a dream, and leaves plenty of room for mods if you’re into that kind of thing. All equipment is pretty solid straight out of the box. The only reason i rate it 4/5 is a design flaw of the artist himself
Tom Delonge believes only one tone knob is necessary. While I like the idea, if you’re looking to shape your tone at all, you’ll be disappointed. However, excellent guitar

To be honest it’s a well made guitar and is worth the money if ur into blink 182 or Angels and Airwaves,boxcar racer etc.etc. Just don’t expect it to play like a Gibson Tom Delonge or 333,335 models. Folks this is an Epip not a Gibson.

Amazing guitar, right out of the box! A chunkier neck than my les paul, but I adjusted to it quickly. The dirty fingers humbucker is hyper sensitive and forces you to play better. It is far more attractive than the pictures can possibly show.

very bright sound thru the pickups even without being plugged in the tone is bright clean sound
matte finish on the guitar is amazing, the racing stripes has a texture

For the price the quality is excellent.
It is a newer purchase so we will see but a friend has had it a while and it is great.
Your general opinion of this product.
I've wanted this guitar for a long time and I was not disappointed at all.
I am a huge fan of how it plays. I love the Semi-hollow guitars and this one is no different.
Bright tone. Sounds like you would want a Tom DeLonge guitar to sound.
I love the paint job. It is a nice change from the everyday glossy finishes.
Incredible. I was worried that like most guitars the action would come to high and it is perfect.

made very well and its very very reliable
it has a matte finish which can chip very easily but it just adds to the character. ive played this guitar with belt buckles on and everything it takes some major work to scratch it up.
Your general opinion of this product.
I will never have to buy another guitar again. It is sturdy, beautiful, great tone, and reliable. The action is just right, and there is no string buzz, I don't know what the first r**** was talking about. This is a very sexy guitar and it suits not only my preference of music (crappy punk rock) but can play anything from acoustic to metal. The Gibson Dirty Fingers pickup is amazing. The only thing i was a little differential on was the tapered neck. it is wider than most but it is only for better sustain and playability. it just takes some getting used to it.
perfect. plays very fast and great for anything. its not neck heavy like most epiphones and gibsons
you can get any tone you want out of it using the volume on the guitar and the amp
the paint job is phenomenal. the binding makes it even sexier
out of the box action was very low. i restrung it with a set of ernie ball super slinkies and its even better i barely have to press the strings

I won't buy anything from Epiphone ever again.
I didn't like the guitar at all when I got it. But I thought I just needed to play it a little more and get used to it.I was wrong,everytime I pick it up to play I regret purchasing it.
Your general opinion of this product.
This guitar is sturdy and that's the only thing I can say on it's behalf. It's like a pumped up version of the junk you but at Wal-Mart
the neck seemed a little wider than most.It plays like a $100.00 Wal-Mart toy guitar.
The tone is bright and heavy. I adjusteded my amp for an hour trying to find a tone I was happy with but I think I'd rather sell this piece and get something else.
I admit it's a sharp looking guitar. If only it sounded as good as it looks....
The action is too high.Strings buzz way too much.

EXCELLENT. a very solid built guitar. first high quality Epiphone i've owned. feels nothing like the cheaper Epi's. Grover tuners are nice and smooth and stay in tune very well.

Your general opinion of this product.
great quality guitar for the money. sounds just like Tom's guitar. plays like a much more expensive guitar. great for anyone who's a blink-182 or Angels & Airwaves fan. action is set nice and low and intonation is set from the factory. excellent sustain and it sounds great clean, distorted, and with effects. i haven't played the Gibson version but don't waste your money...this is a high quality instrument that does Tom Delonge justice.
THIS GUITAR ROCKS!!!!
the neck has a different feel than most of my guitars but i like it. single volume knob is as simple as it gets.
Gibson Dirty Fingers is amazing! it doesn't sound muddy distorted like many other pickups. it has a nice tone clean, distorted, and with effects.
matte brown finish with cream racing stripe. this is the only guitar i have with a matte finish..its a little different but i like it. seems like it would scratch easily so be careful.
nice and low with no fret buzz. intonation set from factory. just tune it up and start playing!

Best Guitar Ever!!

Great Quality, hardware is great and stays in tune. i have a tom delonge fender and the hardware sucks.
I haven’t had it for that long, but this guitar is going to last me a lifetime.
Your general opinion of this product.
I was a little skeptical at first, because I am a name brand person. (Gibson)
When I saw that Epiphone was doing this signature model I thought I would be a cheap guitar with bad hardware. But I was wrong and it’s not cheap at all. I love this guitar.
The tapered neck makes this guitar awesome and easy to play. Only one knob to worry about and sounds great.
when playing clean you get great sound out of this, and the dirty fingers make distortion a dream. Great tone.
I love the look of this guitar, one of a kind. Finish looks amazing.
tune it, and its ready to go.

The construction of this guitar is very sturdy.
It has been great for the short time that I have had it.
Your general opinion of this product.
This thing is awesome! Its like a retro modern tone rocket!
It feels a little weird to me as I have been playing solid body electrics for a long time. It is pretty light weight but it doesn't feel cheap. The neck is very smooth with a satin finish so it won't get stick like the high gloss finishes tend to do. The one control is very easy to get to and serves its purpose, volume. I did change the knob out for something a little more my style because the speed knobs are kind of goofy looking to me. It does match the stripe though.
The guitar has only one pickup, the Gibson Dirty Fingers humbucker. It is very hot sounding and has a very sensitive response. When played finger style it gives a nice clean tone but when you get into it you really start to see how hot and crunchy this thing can get. And it is quiet to boot.
The fit and finish isn't quite perfect but what do you expect for 500 bucks. From stage it'll look like a million dollar paint job though. I really like the natural headstock as it gives a contrast to the normal run of the mill hollow bodies with black headstocks. It would be cool to see some of the other color combination that Tom uses for these in the future.
The action was pretty well dead on. Maybe just a little higher than I'm used to but I usually keep it lower than most people. No buzzing at the frets or at the saddles or nut like some cheaper guitars have. Neck feels straight and frets are dressed pretty nicely making it nice to play all the way up the neck.
