ST-62CC RW Inca Silver : Decent instrument for the price

Finish is very sleek, no blemishes or nicks in this particular guitar. Although in real life the color is quite a bit lighter than on the pictures and I think it looks way better in the pictures. Had I known this I would have probably ordered another color...

Neck is very good. Backside of the neck has really low friction and the fretboard is faultless. I wouldn't have expected this given the price. Action was set rather high out of the box, but I lowered it an acceptable height. I was actually quite surprised how low you can set the action without getting string buzz. Nut is cheap plastic but cut properly and works just fine. Tuners seem okay to me, at least they work without issues and the guitar stays in tune.

Pickguard is rough plastic and not a perfect fit as there are a few small gaps between the body and the pickguard. But the weakest point of this guitar is the bridge. The saddles and their screws are of poor quality and the block/spring mechanism is not very sturdily attached on the backside.

Pickups are not great, but not terrible either. They work just fine for rock and blues at least, but also pick up a lot of hum and static noise. One thing that is missing from the sound is good sustain. But maybe that is more related to the low quality bridge and tremolo system.

I think I will upgrade the bridge quite soon because it is clearly the weakest feature here. Maybe also the pickups at some point, but all in all it's a respectable instrument - especially given the price.
