ST-62MN VW Vintage Series : Hendrix/Trower practice tool

As per the heading I bought this to use detuned for practicing Hendrixy/Trowery type riffs. I already have an ST-62MN in black which has a nice chunky maple neck but reading the reviews between the lines it seemed that the Vintage White had an even chunkier neck which is what I wanted. It does have a more chunky neck but its not very chunky to the point of being cumbersome in fact it is a nice neck for H/T type playing.

Obviously it could be improved at this price point; heavier trem block, better tuners etc. If I intended to gig with it I would do those things but for home use they are not a problem. Its not really white more a pale yellow colour but I like it. I have just ordered the same colour ST-62 with pau ferro board.
