SX SST62 Plus 3-Tone Sunburst

ST-Style Electric Guitar With Vintage Soul and Modern Feel

The SX SST62 Plus 3-Tone Sunburst is a full-size ST-model electric guitar built for players who want classic Strat-style tone at an accessible price. Its basswood body sits beneath a polished 3-Tone Sunburst finish highlighting the double-cutaway silhouette. A vintage mint pickguard, aged cream pickup rings, and pearl dot inlays complete the retro look. This instrument suits guitarists seeking an affordable workhorse across rock, blues, jazz, and clean rhythm.

What Sets the SST62 Plus Apart in the Budget ST Segment

What sets this model apart is its maple neck with rosewood reinforcement — a stability feature rarely seen at this price tier. Various features, such as 21 jumbo frets and a 305 mm fingerboard radius, deliver a flat playing surface that bends easily. Die-cast chrome tuners and a vintage fulcrum tremolo bridge round out hardware that punches above its class.

Basswood Body Construction — Lightweight and Tonally Balanced

Basswood shapes both resonance and comfort. This midweight tonewood delivers balanced frequency response — warm lows, clear mids, and smooth highs. The polished finish protects the wood while letting the 3-Tone Sunburst gradient shine through.

• Body Material: Basswood — balanced resonance with reduced weight for stage comfort
• Finish: Polished 3-Tone Sunburst — classic Strat-inspired look
• The guitar weighs approximately 3.2 kg, ensuring comfortable standing play for extended periods.

Maple Neck With Rosewood Reinforcement — Built for Stability

A reinforced neck translates directly to tuning stability — critical for gigging players. The maple construction provides a bright attack, while the rosewood reinforcement strip adds rigidity. A 2-way truss rod allows precise relief adjustment for any string gauge.

• Neck Material: Maple with Rosewood reinforcement — added rigidity for tuning stability
• Fretboard: Rosewood — warm, woody feel under the fingers
• Scale Length: 648 mm — standard ST-scale for familiar string tension and bending response

SSS Pickup Configuration and Tremolo Hardware

Three single-coil pickups through a 5-way selector deliver the classic Strat voicings — bright bridge, glassy neck, and the in-between positions for funk and blues. The standard tremolo bridge with six adjustable saddles lets players dial in intonation and add subtle vibrato.

• Pickup Configuration: SSS (3 single-coil) — full Strat-style tonal palette from clean to crunch
• Controls: 1 Volume, 2 Tone, 5-way switch — standard ST wiring for familiar sound shaping
• The standard tremolo bridge with 6 saddles allows for adjustable intonation and vibrato capability.

Ideal for Beginners, Returning Players, and Budget-Conscious Giggers

The SX SST62 Plus is the right choice for beginning guitarists who want a genuine ST-style instrument without overspending, and for experienced players seeking a reliable backup. Its lightweight basswood body suits younger players and long sessions. The familiar SSS pickup layout means any Strat-style tutorial applies directly. Players experimenting with pickup swaps or tremolo setups will find it a forgiving canvas.
