episst Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 I am new here and already have a question. In 2002-2003 I was looking in an American musical supply catalog and saw 2 Epi chet atkins SST's the one with no soundhole. one had a wine red finish and the other a sunburst finish. Before anyone asks, yes im sure they were epiphones. My question is, can anyone tell me where i might have the best luck finding them to buy? I have looked on ebay, nothing, craigslist, nothing any other suggestions? Thanks in advance. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

episst Posted July 8, 2008 Author Share Posted July 8, 2008 those 2 are nice (boy are they ever) i have both. The red finished one and sunburst one are the ones I am looking for though. I think if need be I will buy 2 black ones and have them refinished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

episst Posted July 8, 2008 Author Share Posted July 8, 2008 the ones i have are steel string with no soundhole. I have played the nylon string version and it sounds pretty good considering im not much for nylon strings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s360guitarist Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Hey, I am picking up a Epi SST today from a Craigslist seller and am planning some mods, i.e. some new electronics starting with a Fishman Natural Matrix II. Anyone know the specs from the factory reference the strings? I'll let you know how this turns out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
