ST-62 VW Vintage Series : The best at this price range

This strat guitar's quality is very similar to a squier classic vibe.

I've been abusing it for over 2 months non-stop. I play everyday for about two hours plus rehearsals and had a small gig with it.

Roswells are OK not that good but they have that raspy strat sound just like any other strat.

Paint-job and finish are on point. Scratchplate is good but you have to do modifications if you're considering a replacement.

Mine has a small whole on the spring cavity, no big deal tho.

Tremolo holds up pretty good (and I sure use it a lot) but you HAVE to replace the strings they send you. I've been using the same strings it came with and they go out of tune pretty quickly.

Tuners also get the job done.

Now, the neck is really fat. I was used to an epiphone SG which has a slim tapper D neck and in comparison, this HB ST 62 has a really chunky neck profile. It's even thicker than an epiphone Les Paul Standard.

Also, fretboard is really flat, which for me is not a deal breaker but it's very far off the original strat.

It's a GREAT DEAL!
