    Control layout, headstock, no inlay and twin pickups screams Epi Dot Studio with a new paint job to me.

    EDIT - The TOM is a metric import bridge as well. Not a Nashville.

    Glenn. Please tell us that the OP photographs are not what became of your old Epi ES-333.

    Slightly off topic, but is this a full-sized 335 body? It looks a little small. If not, those 339s must look flat out ridiculous - no offense to those that own them, I'm sure they're affable 'lil tykes.

    Yes, that guy is pretty big, I think he's six foot four.

    No worries, it isn't. That epiphone is lost now, I sold it to a guy that sells gear he buys overnight.

    339s look the same size as Les Pauls. Even I like the look of them, and I HATE those big ass hollowbodies.

    Hmm... I'm 6'2" and I didn't think my 335 looked that small when I play it. An ES 339 would look like a god damned ukelele on me.

    Among everything mentioned there are also no inlays just like the Epi Dot Studio which would be the tell tale sign.
