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.
