ST-Travel Candy Apple Red : Great portable guitar

Let me say this . Its a great portable guitar and perfect guitar for beginners.

I'm not a beginner though and I bought this guitar for travel and practice but I have to say this.

Out of the box

1. Tuners are the most chinese tuners ever made and you cannot get the guitar to stay in tune not even for 5min

2. Pickups are very cheap and noisy

3. String action is rather high and you need to fight with the guitar

So i did the following.

Replace the tuners with Fenders.

Change the electronics

Neck DiMarzio Cruiser

Middle Seymour Duncan SSL 1

Bridge Seymour Duncan JB Hotrail

Change the location of the strap pins because their factory placement is on the back side and its quite uncomfortable

Now the guitar is ready for serious playing and even touring.

Keep in mind I had all this hardware from other older guiatrs already. So if don't have spare parts and you want to do this mod it will be quite an unnecessary investment!
