ST-62CC RW Inca Silver : Nice affordable ST style

I am not much of a strat guy, although I have owned a few fenders and a Squier over the years. At the time I bought this I had no Strat and thought, well why not, it is dirt cheap and I was curious. I have the Harley benton HB35+ (ES335 copy) and that I was how good that thing is. A lot of guitar for the money. I never connected with this guitar and ended up modding it a little and selling it on. Not because it was a bad guitar per sec, it is actually good for the money, but the neck thickness and shape made me not want to play it. But that is a matter of personal preference.

Pros:

- well built guitar for the price range.

- sunning finish on the body and the tinted neck

- plays well out of the box, action a bit on the high side but that was a 5 minute fix.

- electronics worked fine and the pickups are decent Alnicos, output a bit higher than I usually like, but that is subjective.

Cons

The the pick guard was horrible. Cheap, soft, single layer nylon like plastic. Just awful. Even worse is that is bulged in two places.

Thin sustain block (as expected per price)

In conclusion: Would I recommend this guitar and to whom? Yes, for beginners, this is a guitar that should be fine as an entry level instrument but also for modders.

Get yourself a nice pick guard and you have a really nice looking mod platform.
