ST-Mini BK : Its cheap but it is good

I bought this guitar for my 8 year old daughter.

The quality was surprisingly good, better than expected. The fretboard color is kind of purple, not dark brown as on the pictures - but my daughter likes it very much, so I have no problem with it. It was also quite dry, but some lemon oil helped.

After a basic setup and fine tuning - intonation, lowering the sting height, lubing the nut - It played quite nicely. The tuners are cheap, but they work. I changed two things: the string trees to GraphTech, and the strings.

So with a little work, it can be a realy great little guitar

It sounds quite good, the neck feels nice. Had no big problems with the frets - they seem to be leveled. The fret ends are not bad either (better then on a Squire Mini I tried before), but they will need some work, and polishing the frets will
