Epiphone SST Studio Solidbody Acoustic-Electric Guitar

Found in: 6-String Acoustic-Electric Guitars

Price: $329

Check this hot number out. A solid body acoustic/electric guitar with an awesome ebony finish on a chambered Mahogany body with a Spruce top. The SST gives you great acoustic sound without the feedback so common with traditional acoustic guitars. You will have no problems playing the lead or just sitting back and comping chords.

Feature:
Cheap Grover knockoffs. The routing for the saddle was too long by almost an inch...and crooked. Drunk guy running the router that day?!?!? Dreadful. Expected more from Epiphone, whose products I generally like a lot.

Quality:
Already mentioned the cheap tuners and the router problems. Finish was OK, but again not as nice as the real Chets were. Intonation was OK, just OK. Action wasn't awful...that's subjective anyway.

Value:
Utterly useless.

Desirability:
Loved the old Chets. "Mr. Guitar" would be rolling in his grave had they left his name on it!

Sound:
Just dull and uninteresting. This isn't the "Chet Atkins" model of old. They shaved $100 off the price and you can see, feel, and hear it!

Ease of Use:
It would be fine if the build quality weren't so dreadful!

Support:
I've dealt with Epi support in the past and they've always been very helpful. Didn't have to with this axe...just sent it right back.
