ST-62DLX OW Vintage Series : Great Budget Guitar!!

Bought this with a project in mind but was surprised on the initial quality for the price point. The general build quality is commendable and the finish and frets are acceptable. Yes, the frets could do with a quick dress just to take the roughness off but plenty of string bending gets the job done eventually. The pickups, to my ears, sound good out the box but I've already changed the bridge to a SD Hot Rails, which is what I always intended to do anyway. I've also swapped the gold pickguard to a Harley Benton tortoise shell one so I'm more than happy with what I've got. The only thing I'd say that lets it down are the tuners, 1 or 2 pegs struggle to hold tune but they seem to be getting better with more use.

With less than £100 of upgrades, the guitar has gone from a good, useable entry level guitar to a high end mid range beast so overall, well worth the money!
