ST-20 BK Standard Series : Disappointed

3 years ago

Bought this a while ago. It looks ok - very Stat-like. Sound is not very rich even with effects through a Boss Katana amp.

Bridge is very stiff and springs are almost unbendable so as to release the bridge. The tremolo is therefore unusable. Even with a setup and new strings, I cannot get this to stay in tune. Intonation is not good and I also have a lot of fret buzz despite the setup.

I know it’s a budget guitar but I had hoped for something playable. It’s not worth spending more money on it as it would cost more than the purchase price.

This i suppose is in the category of “get what you pay for”.
