This is an electro-acoustic scratches, but has the distinction of not having a sounding board. Basically it sounds only when plugged into an amp rather convenient to pass feedback and other worries repeat config / concert. Nice little trick, you just connect a headset directly!

It is equipped with a piezo Shadow NanoFlex, just under the bridge saddle as well as a preamp Shadow SST (powered by 9V battery). At settings it's pretty simple: volume, bass, treble and small switch headphone / amp.

Round level, there are 21 boxes for the big E string and 24 frets to the small rope.

UTILIZATION

Regarding the use of this guitar is really nice: it is light, very compact (and yes not sounding!) And I find the handle comfortable (after it is a matter of taste! ).

It has easy access to ultra sharp, the shape of the body really allows us all.

More shiny paint does not stick, all slides impec '!

SOUNDS

So I tested the guitar with a headphone, a small guitar amp (Roland Cube) and plugged directly into a sound card connected to Logic 9 (for effects etc ...) and I must say the sound is quite classy!

For cons, the first uses of the object, the big E string was almost inaudible, so I pulled all the strings and repositioned the piezo correctly then put new strings. And then all magic sounds great!

At the sound is very close to a traditional electro-acoustic guitar, I must say I am quite impressed with the result!

OVERALL OPINION

I ogled this guitar for quite some time and read a lot of test electro-acoustic guitar at a reasonable price, and it caught my attention with its original design.

I managed to snag me one via this site, and I must not be disappointed with this model. The violin is more than adequate for a guitar of this price (300 € new I think).

The sound is (in my opinion) very correct to use that I (and a few personal records rehearsing with guitar Plugge the PA).

The only little less that I find, is the fact of having to replace the piezo to sound good to be a lack of attention from Epiphone!

Beyond that, I would do this choice without hesitation!
