ST-62MN VW Vintage Series : Solid workhorse!

Bought it thanks to all the hype around HB at the moment.

Positives:

+ Astonishing quality for the price (not perfect finish but whatever)

+ Beefy fast neck with a lovely feel, I think it's impossible to pick this up without going full blues/ western mode instantly

+ it's got that chunky strat twang, nice pickups!

+ Holds tune, have'nt even changed the strings yet and I've played it for almost a month every single day! Good tuners too!

+ Absolutely beautifully playing instrument, came setup really good out of the box (just below 1,7mm at 12th with a straight neck) but I've lowered the action a tad bit to 1,5mm.

Mehs:

- Kinda sharp frets out of the box (easily fixable, steel wool etc.)

- Middle position sounds a bit dull (however never really liked it on any strat-style guitar)

Negative:

- HUGE screw pitch on the tremolo screws, busted one when decking the tremolo (easily fixable since i've got tools available and I'll probably swap the trem screws for a schaller sure claw at some point.)

Conclusion: buy it without hesitation, you won't regret it. I'd rather have five of these than a single Fender.
