ST-62MN VW Vintage Series : Guitar with good potential but came very badly finished

4 years ago

I think the guitar, specially for the price point, has very good potential. The tuners and tremolo are OK if you don't abuse it, although I believe it would be worth to invest in better tuners. The pickups sound nice and acoustically the guitar sounds pretty well and have a good sustain. The issue I had was with the frets and setup. The frets came like they were never sanded, very rough, and the action came very high. When I tried to setup for lower action I found that the frets are not leveled, so I still have lots of buzz and even dead notes when bending on the high frets unless I give the neck a deep bow or raise the strings again. If only it came with a playable setup I would probably not have much bad to say about it.
