Product Description
The Epiphone SST Studio is a steel-string acoustic-electric guitar that combines electric and acoustic technology with state-of-the-art construction techniques. This is a guitar that has virtually nothing in common with anything else on the market. In fact, the Epiphone SST guitar doesn't even have a sound hole. It's easy to get sidetracked by the stunning visuals of the new SST Studio Guitar—from the ebony finish to the hourglass curves—this is one of the best-looking guitars Epiphone has ever released. Unlike traditional acoustic guitars that feature hollow bodies that are susceptible to feedback, the Epiphone SST combines a solid mahogany body with computer-designed sound chambers, the active SST Studio preamp and a Nanoflex pickup designed in cooperation with Shadow Germany. Not a piezo, the unique flexible sensing material in the pickup features integrated active electronics and picks up not only string vibration but also top and body vibrations without the harshness of piezos. The result is a guitar that delivers natural acoustic tone in any situation and at any volume with the only squeals coming from the front row of the moshpit. The Epiphone SST Studio Guitar is not just capable of mind-blowing acoustic tone at high volumes without feedback. The SST Studio preamp features a built-in headphone amp that allows you to plug ordinary headphones into the 1/4" output jack for late-night hotel room inspiration.The Epiphone SST Studio is equipped with a SlimTaper mahogany neck, a smooth 24-fret rosewood fingerboard, and acoustic steel strings. Once you've picked the SST Studio guitar up, you'll never put it down. Like all Epiphones, the hardware is built with working musicians in mind and includes premium gold Grover machine heads for rock-solid tuning accuracy and stability and a solid rosewood reverse-belly bridge with compensated saddle. The Epiphone SST Studio is the complete acoustic-electric guitar package at the right price.

Well worth $350 dollars January 31, 2010

While there is no way this is going to give you the sound of a good quality dreadnought acoustic that doesn't mean it doesn't sound great. I am blown away by how natural the sound of this guitar is.
This is a much improved version of the old Chet Atkins model. I have both Epiphone models and the SST Studio is head and shoulders above the older model. The new pickups and new preamp make it easy to dial in and get a real acoustic guitar sound.
Now you may ask why purchase this guitar over a regular acoustic like the PR5E which also sound great plugged in. Here are my reasons.
1. No feedback issues. The guitar has no sound hole so you eliminate that issue altogether.
2. small and light. It is much easier to play for an entire gig than my Takamine dreadnought.
3. It sounds better with a band in my opinion. While I would probably not play this for a solo guitar gig I think the brightness of the guitar cuts through much like the sound you hear in Nashville country music. It adds a great acoustic sound to the band.
4. $350 it worth having just for the novelty. We all need another guitar, right?
