Solid woods, ultra-fast neck, integrated electronics, and the signature of an alt-rock legend.
The Dave Navarro Signature acoustic-electric guitar features beautiful solid woods on the body, and high-end electronics inside, to produce solid tone, whether playing acoustic or plugged in. The Epiphone guitar is built on the popular dreadnought body design. The broad shoulders and deep guitar body create an ideal sound chamber, producing thick, full-balanced tone, with plenty of volume. The cutaway body design provides comfort when accessing the upper range on the Dave Navarro Signature guitar's ebony fretboard.
The solid Sitka spruce top, paired with solid mahogany back and sides produce a great deal of projection, with a nice blend of acoustic brightness, as well as plenty of mid-range presence for a full sound. The Epiphone Dave Navarro Signature guitar's glued neck joint keeps the neck in place, so you don't lose any of that sweet tone.
The SlimTaper D-shape neck and 12" radius add speed and comfort to your shredding, while lessening player exhaustion. The ebony fretboard, rosewood bridge, and bone nut produce some of the clearest tone possible, so you can hear your notes with crystal clarity.
At the heart of the Epiphone Dave Navarro Signature guitar is the integrated electronics, letting you plug in and amplify quickly and painlessly. The Nanoflex pickup is capable of conveying all the harmonic and organic dimensions of the acoustic sound spectrum. NanoFlex pickups produce an open sound, conveying natural harmonic overtones. Shadow developed a unique technology that amplifies and shields directly at the pickup. This innovative technology keeps loss of sound at an absolute minimum and guarantees a signal that is completely free of noise. The acoustic-electric guitar's eSonic preamp includes master volume, high EQ, low EQ, anti-feedback phase reversal switch, chromatic tuner, stereo output, and dynamics controls to dial in your ideal amplified guitar voice.
Grover tuners provide hours of stress-free playing, so you don't have to worry about keeping your guitar in tune. These tuners provide precision. The beautiful polyurethane finish will only get better with age, and nickel hardware adds an element of luxurious shine to the impressive Epiphone Dave Navarro Signature guitar.

Comments about Epiphone Dave Navarro Signature Model Acoustic-Electric Guitar:
This is a clarification on the questio of select versus solid terminology.
What does select mahogany mean? It does not mean that it is laminated wood. It is solid wood, just not of the same cut. Which means it will have different grain patterns.
I stand corrected on my previous review.
Comments about Epiphone Dave Navarro Signature Model Acoustic-Electric Guitar:
As of 4/27 this guitar is still being sold as having Solid Mahogany Sides. Check epiphones website for yourself. I hope those who purchased this guitar already are well aware they do not have a solid body guitar.
Comments about Epiphone Dave Navarro Signature Model Acoustic-Electric Guitar:
Did I mention no laminates in the construction !?! All around it's a solid beast that as your sole acoustic, should last you a lifetime.
This is quite a good offering from Epiphone. It has all the features of the Masterbilt series (eg. DR500Mce) including all solid wood construction. But with the exception of the 2nd neck pickup. I love the ebony neck, bone nut and compensated saddle and also that it doesn't look like every other acoustic in the world. The setup was pretty good, 6.5-7 out of 10. Action is as low as possible with the 12 gauge strings it gets shipped with. Finish is overall very good except the edges of the frets could be smoothed out more. The frets are all proper it's just you can tell they didn't go the extra mile and put that last bit of filing to round off the edge. The sound is great for this price range, I can't wait to see how it develops complexity once it's aged a couple years. Good choice for someone who plays mainly electric. Not quite as "playable" straight away as an Ovation, but I hate the backs of their guitars. A Breedlove of similar price would be the only competition in playability and sound.
Comments about Epiphone Dave Navarro Signature Model Acoustic-Electric Guitar:
This guitar is a steal! Very nice quality, nicer than the Epiphone Masterbuilt acoustics. Mine was made in Indonesia. Solid top, back and sides, nice on-board Shadow preamp and tuner, ebony fretboard, multi-ply body binding and bound neck and headstock. Nice Grover tuners, even a bone nut and saddle! You really get a lot for your money with this guitar.Had mine for a few weeks now and it's starting to really open up and break in. Overall I am really impressed.
