I have tested it and sound and play-ability is awesome.

This guitar's appearance, playability, and sound are way over the cost.

Good guitar for it's price. It costs each euro you pay for it.

For sure it is not lixuary product. but it is made very acurately.

Good choice for begginers and home guitarists like me

Just buy it.

Looks: AWESOME.

Sound: Sounds pretty good to me, dude.

Quality: If you work the tremolo a bit after some YT videos, it stays pretty much in tune!

The electronics I was told by a tech that are low quality, haven't seen/heard anything wrong though yet! And certainly not enough to give it less than 5/5.

This is a must buy guitar if you want a guitar with a tremolo, like me who only had a Les Paul.

Great guitar

I was pleasantly surprised by everything I'm this guitar and I do not regret buying this one. Only cons are: when you unscrew the tremolo arm, small pieces of wood and sawdust come out with it, and the bridge pickup can be moved around a little. Everything else is just perfect for me.

Great guitar for a great price!

Good time, everyone)

I have been using the guitar for more than six months, every day. Very satisfied, the guitar beats its price by 200+%

Pros:

* The sound of the guitar is good, singles can be clear and even overdriven, the humbucker in clean sounds very sharp, I personally don’t like the clean sound, but on distortion it works out for all the money, you can even wind up something in the metal genre, the sensors work out and don't choke

* Assembly quality, maybe there are differences from the release, but it came perfectly for me, without chips, without swims, the coating came out even, everything fit and without gaps.

*5 position switch works in all 5 positions

Cons: (relatively)

* I don't really like the matte surface because the hand does not catch on the deck for the first half hour of the game.

* Frets scratched hands a little, but after polishing and sharpening for 6 months they hold perfectly.

This guitar is a great option for the price, especially for beginners who want to learn how to play the guitar, it sounds good, is well made and can compete with $200+ guitars, I was very surprised by the quality of this guitar.

I just started playing guitar, and this is my first guitar, it sounds very good with and without an amp.

Appearance is just great.

Appearance is just great.

After unboxing, they have minor scratches, the factory strings of the 9th are too thin for me personally, The guitar came with unprotected wrapping on the strings, completely out of tune, the 6th string is very difficult to tune, the pegs do not hold tension well. Small improvements will help because all the dachas are not critical. The body and paintwork is great, the neck is flat, the fingerboard looks good.

My Favorite

This guitar is so much fun to play! Every time I look at it, it's screaming, "pick me up and play me!" Finally, after trying many different guitars, I have found my daily guitar that I play for hours on end. What do I love about this guitar?

- Satin finish. Extremely smooth and fast. (why don't more guitars have a satin finish neck?)

- Lightweight

- Black finish that I really don't care that much about, meaning, if it gets nicked or scratch, that would just add character. The black aesthetic with tortoise shell pickguard appeals to my sense of style.

- S type styling that is very comfortable sitting or standing

- The low price

The only knock is that the pickups are clearly not the best in terms of tone and variety. A) who cares, this is a practice guitar. B) easy enough to change them if I want to. C) They sound like an S type, which is what you would expect. They just don't sound like a PRS or genuine Fender noiseless for obvious reasons.

For reference, I am fairly new to the guitar (2.5 years) and I have actually purchased and used the following guitars in the last two years in my search for a guitar to fall in love with:

- Epiphone LP Vintage

- HB tele

- HB CST24HB

- HB DC Custom

- HB SC Custom II

- HB HB-35 Plus

- Epiphone Prophecy

- Sire S7

- EART E35

- Donner cheap S type

I still have the Epiphone LP Vintage that I kept because it was my first guitar. I still have the HB-35 Plus because I love it also, but it's a very different machine. All the others were either returned or I resold them.

I will keep this ST20HSS and play it til my fingers bleed. Yes, it is an inexpensive thrasher guitar, and yes, it is so much fun to play. I highly recommend it.

if its your first guitar, just go for it!

This is my first electric guitar, and after going through endless videos and articles recommending guitars for beginners, i was truly lost between the options available, fender squire, yamaha pacifica..etc as i was trying to start with something of quality but not break the bank. This Guitar checked all the boxes for me. other than the fact that it looks beautiful, it plays very nicely. mine needed some adjustments out of the box but minor things like neck and action adjustments.

for this price its a great value for your money. goodluck on your guitar journey.

Store review.

I really liked the store. I am very pleased with the purchase. This is by far the best guitar in my collection. The build quality amazed me. Me and all my friends admire the value for money. In our country, it is simply impossible to find instruments in this price range. Everything is great! From looks to sound. I am delighted. Thanks a lot for your work. I will buy tools only from you!
