Laminated spruce top Bright, smooth highs and mids
Mahogany body Rich, warm, focused sound; added sustain
Mahogany neck Great sustain, strength, and warm tone

The Epiphone SST Coupe (Steel String) is an updated version of the legendary "solid body" steel string acoustic guitar in a reduced body size for easy travel. The SST Coupe features a chambered body for true acoustic tone when plugged in thanks to the revolutionary Shadow Panoramic SH-148-HD pickup system allowing for separate panning and EQ settings for the top three strings and the lower three strings. The preamp also includes both an Aux input (for an MP3 player) and a headphone output.

Solid Body Acoustic Guitar - No feedback when plugged in!

The SST Coupe features a Select Spruce top in a Gloss Natural or Gloss Ebony finish and 6-layer Pure White & Black binding on the body top and as well as the Sloped Dovewing headstock. The Mahogany body is chambered allowing for a true acoustic tone when plugged in without the worry of feedback like most acoustic/electric guitars. The Solid Mahogany neck has a 1960's SlimTaper D-Profile, a 25.5" scale, and a 1.68" width Graphtech nut and is glued to the body with a dovetail joint. The Ebony fingerboard has a 12" radius with 24 medium frets and a single layer of white binding. The truss rod is adjustable at the sound hole.

Shadow Panoramic Electronics - Featuring separate EQ and Pan controls for high and low strings

The SST Coupe is powered by the revolutionary new Shadow Panoramic SH-148-HD pickup system with a panoramic function that allows a player to separately EQ and pan the top 3 string and bottom 3 strings. Controls… read more include a Master Volume, an EQ setting for the bass strings (E, A, D), treble strings (G, B, E), and a "Phase" switch. The onboard control panel also includes a Chromatic Tuner with a 7-Segment Display plus a Low-Battery Indicator, Headphone out, and an Aux In. The Shadow PanaFlex HD pickup is placed under the Bone saddle and Ebony bridge. The battery (AAA x 2) compartment is located next to the standard 1/4" output jack.

I was looking to get this guitar for a while once zZounds posted it on their website. I needed an acoustic and just fell in love with the looks and hoped it would play just as good as it looked. For the most part its incredible. The guitar weighs almost nothing. It's a super-thin body, to begin with. When you pick it up for the first time you may not take it seriously because I have socks that weigh more than this thing. The neck is incredible. It's much closer to your standard electric neck than to anything acoustic. The finish is impeccable. The electronics- well......... that's another story. The tuner is worthless and totally inaccurate. You could use it for on the spot tunes but after you strum one chord you will realize something is off. The intonation was spot on though. There are separate controls for your bass and treble sides which work AMAZINGLY WELL!! The tuners are comparable to something you'd use to pull up a medieval drawbridge. They are not all that smooth and creak and moan. The Action- well this is another point of contention. It's not bad, it's not good, it's not great..... I wouldn't send it back because its too high but I wouldn't write home about it either. Its like SRV would play. I'm going to try to adjust the neck and if that doesn't work Ill sand down the bridge and I think that will make it more playable.The Sound - OMG THIS GUITAR SOUNDS AMAZING!!! You would never think you could get a sound so full, so rich from a body so thin. I could talk all day… read more about the tones that come out of it. NO ONE will be let down by the sound in this price range.Overall I would say that if you replaced the tuners and got the action to a point where you want it this will become your new Number 1. It's awesome and I would highly recommend it.
