ST-20HH Active SBK : Killer metal guitar

I saw reviews of this guitar popping up all over YouTube and the price made it hard to pass up. The guitar isn’t perfect- there is some very minor splintering around the nut and when I placed some heavier strings on it (11-48 for drop C tuning) it caused the neck to bow quite a bit more than I was expecting. I was able to flatten the neck out using the truss rod but I’m not sure how it will hold up with even heavier strings. Also, I plan to switch out the tuners as they feel cheap.

However, the value of this guitar is amazing. It looks sleek and the pickups are hot and very well suited for heavier music. They sound great. At this point I don’t think you can find another guitar (especially if you’re into metal) that looks, sounds or feels as good as this guitar for close to $100. I have to give it 5 stars across the board because you would have to spend x3 as much to find a comparable instrument. It’s incredible as a starter instrument (my first guitar was $200 and was absolute garbage compared to this one) or as a modding platform (which is what I plan to do with it). You can’t go wrong at this price. Highly recommended!!
