Just unbelievable
RoyMattblack 23.10.2024
I've been playing for well over 50 years and currently own several high-end guitars - Gibby LP, 2 x Fender Strats, a genuine Burns Marvin, PRS...
This HB is just mind boggling.
I'll be honest, I bought it purely on the looks, not expecting too much from a £160 guitar.
How wrong could I be!
First, the finish is better than my Gibby or my Strats. Only the Burns beats it there.
The sound is just amazing.
Also, the build quality is way up there with the best.
Now the gripes...
Loose, floppy dangling trem arm. No way to position it where you want it.
If you're using it in a solo, you either have to hold onto it all the time, or go 'looking' for it when you want it.
Then there's the knobs.
The entire guitar LOOKS like a mega-money instrument - except for the plastic bargain bin knobs.
Not a big deal though as I replaced them with polished chrome metal ones.
It now LOOKS like the guitar it is emulating.
I'm Suhr you know what I mean...
A superb instrument I'll be using A LOT!

Almost perfect!
Gabell 25.03.2025
The finish on the ST- Modern I received was as good as any guitar I have purchased in the last 50 years, including higher end Godin and G & L guitars, and with locking tuners and a split coil facility as standard inclusions, the value for money is excellent. The only, slight disappointment was the very slightly “ brittle” tone of the pickups when pushed with overdrive, but it still holds its own when compared to most of the Squier ranges, from the debut, sonic, affinity and almost on par with the classic vibe range at twice the price!.

So gut wie sie aussieht?
Seraphim79 04.02.2025
Ich habe echt viele Gitarren in meiner Sammlung von super Günstig bis Perfekter PRS ist da alles vertreten. Wieso also hab ich mir diese Gitarre auch noch gekauft? Na weil Sie echt hübsch ist!
Dazu kam aber auch noch das der Sound passt. Nicht Schrott und auch nicht High End aber als Arbeitstier ist sie klasse. Man kann alles so drauf Spielen was einem einfällt. Die Qualität stimmt. Es ist nichts zu meckern an der Gitarre. Die Saiten hab ich aber dennoch sofort gegen andere getauscht. Aber das ist persönlicher Geschmack.
Was ich völlig unnötig fand ist das Tremolo System. Wer es braucht ok aber ich mag es nicht.
Mein Favorit sind aber Alnico 5 Zebra Humbucker die verbaut wurden. Ein vielseitiger Sound ist damit machbar und das macht es für mich aus.
Für wen ist die Gitarre Top? - Wenn du folgendes willst: Üben, Ideen umsetzen, Sounds erkunden, wenig Nacharbeiten reinstecken (Außer Saiten), eine Gitarre willst die hochwertig aussieht und man damit den Alltag gut bestreiten kann.
Ich kann sie weiterempfehlen. Für mehr Geld gibt´s natürlich noch ehr Sound und Qualität aber diese Gitarre ist eine Solide Basis. Für Anfänger geeignet und für Fortgeschrittene eine Begleiterin die man noch Aufrüsten und Anpassen kann. Ich nutze Sie oft für Spontane Ideen und Recording am PC. Bis jetzt ohne Probleme. Preis / Leistung Passt!

Ottima chitarra
angeloinca 10.01.2025
Chitarra ottima, anche se è arrivata con manico non centrato, ma è bastato allentare un po' le viti posteriori e centrarlo. Suono brillante anche se non è il mio preferito. Nel complesso ottima chitarre per il prezzo.
