Epiphone SST Studio Solidbody Acoustic-Electric Guitar

Feature:
the only thing i didnt like was the grover tuners i had them up graded and now thats all good

Quality:
the finish was flawless and it is some of the best quality i have seen on an epi acousitic for that kind of price i have had it for a few months and not a problem

Value:
great bargain

Desirability:
one of the best lookin axes i own

Sound:
i love the sound of my epi for 299 its the best acoustic electric i have ever played

Ease of Use:
very great i love the sound and tone quality it has a clear crisp sound it sounds and plays just like an acoustic whether it be plugged in or unplugged

Support:
never had to contact them

Overall:
ill play it till the day i die

Feature:
The EQ on the new models is great, compared to the older 2 tone models.

Quality:
Mine arrived fine. Plays in tune, stays in tune, what more could you ask for?

Value:
The most recent SST is way better than the earlier versions, plus Epi is saving money on licensing by removing the Chet name. Only wish it came in blond like the old ones.

Desirability:
Very good if you like these types of guitars, knowing the sound to expect. I'd prefer chrome tuners rather than the gold.

Sound:
Good sound for the type it is. Don't expect a super-natural sounding acoustic or high-gain shredder. It is what it is.

Ease of Use:
It's nice that the battery compartment is right there next to the EQ, but it's a real tight fit. I usually need tweezers or needle nose to pull the 9V up enough to grab it. The 2 settings on the EQ for output (headphones or amp) but I didn't seem to notice any real output as far as it being a pseudo headphone amp. But like I said, the 2 levels the switch affords you is nice.

Support:
Didn't need to contact them.

Overall:
This guitar is amazing for it's price. I think I may have had to tighten the truss rod a little, but that's normal for a new guitar unless it's been set-up already. But the tuners keep the guitar in tune, the plugged in sound is vesatile. No complaints except I wish it had chrome hardware, and wish they made it in blonde like the older models. But overall, it's an improvement over the older model. As for the Gibsons, I hated the star inlays on those.
