ST-20HSS CA Standard Series : Great guitar for the money

For the price i don't think you could get anything better than this guitar. A great guitar for a beginner to start playing on that doesnt want to go all in just yet. The finish on the body looks really nice, the candy apple red looks amazing. as for playability the guitar stays in tune surprisingly well even when using the tremolo. the fret ends were slightly sharp but not unplayable, and an easy fix with some slight sanding. There were also 3 frets that were slightly higher than the rest causing some fret buzz. After having sanded those down as well you can lower the action to about 2mm-1.75mm and have a really nice playable guitar. The pickups aren't the best but for this price point they do the job better than expected. The tone knobs arent very high quality since they dont seem to do anything as far as i can hear. But for a beginner that doesnt mind having to adjust the guitar abit and isnt sure wherther they will stick to playing it's a great buy to test the waters without spending alot.
