CST-24T Ocean Flame : Can't be beat for the price.

8 years ago

For modern metal and rock tones this thing is fantastic, for anything else I've not really tried it.

I'll start with the pros - Fretwork is good, fret ends are a little rough but all are well rounded and no dead spots anywhere on the neck.

Pickups - if I never knew they were wilkinson I'd say they sounded like a SD JB/Jazz combo.

Bridge - comfortable, intonated perfectly out of the box.

Tuners - I'd probably pay ~£100 for these alone, far superior to quite a few branded tuners I have on other much higher spec'd/priced guitars.

Now the negatives.

Finish - a few spots of uneven staining, rough binding in spots and a few marks on the fretboard.

All in all would pay 2x the price for this guitar if the cosmetic issues were dealt with.
