ST-20 BK Standard Series : Very good value, needs locked tuners

My dad wanted to learn the guitar again after decades of endless responsibilities so I bought him this as it was the cheapest electric guitar available from any website we looked.

The quality on this model is phenomenal, blows my bass -with some QC issues- which costs almost twice that out of the water in terms of the paintjob, pickguard, neck and the wood finish.

The sound is pleasant with a digital Amplitude clean tone amp and it works well with distortion too. The only problems we have encountered with this guitar is some heavy fret buzz on the 3 higher strings, can be fixed with a good setup from a luthier, and the tuning problem it has. It goes out of tune pretty much instantly, although it isn't that bad playing alone, trying playing bass-guitar was impossible.

Overall, I am pretty pleased with this purchase, very good value for money. With a proper string and neck setup and with some locked tuners this will be unbeatable at this price!
