ST-62MN VW Vintage Series : IN THE BEGINNING

I have played, repaired and done custom work on electric guitars for over 35 years and I have been a metal finisher in the Orthopedic industry for over 40 years I couldn't wait to check this thing out!

PROS:

1- shipping was fast and safe ordered it on Monday and it was at my door on Friday (Indiana 🇺🇸 USA)

2- Cosmetics I took it out of the box checked the finish it was flawless and I look at surgical instrumentation all day long that deals with micro buff, machine and belting lines I couldn't even find a micro buff line or blemish on this guitar even after putting bifocal glasses on still nothing.

3- assembly everything straight as could be neck,strings, string 'T's and the tuners.

String height needed to be lowered and tension release on tremolo springs but thats just a personal preference. Bridge stays in tune and I'm a heavy whammy bar guy!

I normally slap active EMG's in my guitars but these Roswell pickups actually sound pretty good so I'll leave them in.

Neck has a nice satin finish no frett barbs sticking out nicely rolled edges and very smooth to play.

CONS: Now I have to a few more Harley Benton worse part is I have 10 in my shopping cart and I don't which ones to buy first.
