ST-62MN VW Vintage Series : If you want strat style guitar on a budget.

3 years ago

Not much to complain about really,since this is quite decent guitar for the price.Was actually surprised for it being set up that well.String action,truss rod and intonation was pretty dead on (Guitar was even close to being in tune right out of the box).Frets could use a some touch here and there,but nothing major, like,they're not going to cut your hands or buzz all over the place.No complaints about nut and machine heads.Guitar actually holds tuning really well,even after some tremolo bar use.Not a fan of those classic fender type bridge saddles,so i might change those eventually.Electronics work as they should.Can't comment much on pickups, since i'm more of a humbucker person and therefore, don't have a good point of reference.Paint job is simply perfect.One negative thing I did found, was that the woodwork inside the back cavity where springs are located is kinda rough, to say the least.Obviously,it doesn't affect playability or anything,but still,there's literally a bunch of wood fiber sticking out,kind of like if you cut wood with a dull blade,but again,doesn't affect anything ,except for knowing it's there.

It's a decent guitar,but I think it's important to understand that it is a budget instrument,therefore, don't expect it to be high end one.If you want a strat style guitar on a budget,project guitar or your first instrument then this is definetely a good choice.
