ST-20HSS CA Standard Series : Solid budget guitar

This one is not bad considering the incredible price. Sounds and plays good. Looks good too, which in the end is important as nobody wants to be playing uninspiring looking guitars. Yes, intonation is not the best, but I haven't tried to block the tremolo yet which I believe influences this some bit (the tremolo obviously is not the greatest quality), but in the end this is nothing so terrible. Pickups sound decent enough for me, but don't expect much versatility in tone. The worst part of this guitar was the rough frets it comes with, but which for the price it has I can understand. You don't pay for supreme finishes ok? Take a file and polish those off like I did, and you will be good to go. Chances are this is also very volatile and depending on the batch you get the guitar from that may not be a problem (but something else may). All in all, nice guitar for the price.
