This guitar is unreal for the price. The closest thing I have played in terms of feel as a modern Strat is a Fender Player Plus, which is a nicer guitar but not much nicer.
This feels closer to a Classic vibe which of course has a more vintage feel but similar quality.
Sound is subjective but I like the pickups, will not be changing them.
Guitar came ready to play out of the box!!!! For a 179 euro!
This was NOT the case with my 900 euro Epiphone!
Biggest problem? It makes the ST62 obsolete. ST62 needs a revamp, 9.5 radius, skunk stripe and more colors. Skip the roasted neck, keep the rolled edges, take the pickups from this instead of Roswell. Call it ST Vintage or something...
