ST-62CC RW Inca Silver : Can't be beat for value and quality

I'm mostly a Strat player. When the ST62 came out, I was intrigued enough to buy one just to see how good they actually were. Mine arrived flawless and totally playable. No dead frets and a low action. The neck was comfortable, and though I found the frets a little smaller than I'm used to (I favour higher frets), I still found this very playable. (Similar height to most Fender guitars ... not small like cheap copies). The Roswell pickups performed well, although a little weak in the output department. I also changed the scratchplate because I hated the white single ply, which was factory standard. The big downer was the tremelo unit. Whilst it stayed in tune, the saddles were very poor, and the arm rattled a lot. It's not something that can be swapped out easily (as I found out). The trem block is very thin, and a thicker block just doesn't fit the cavity. ... so the only options are either to replace the saddles or get the router out and remove some wood from the rear cavity to fit a new trem unit. I tried both, but the sound didn't really improve. The finish, though, is stunning, and the build quality and factory setup is fantastic. You won't find better for the money.
