SX SST62 Plus HSH 3-Tone Sunburst — Vintage-Style ST Electric Guitar

The SX SST62 Plus HSH 3-Tone Sunburst is a retro-styled ST-model electric guitar from SX's Vintage 62 Series, built around a solid basswood body and a maple neck with rosewood reinforcement. An HSH pickup array pairs ceramic humbuckers at the neck and bridge with a ceramic single-coil in the middle, covering clean glassy tones to heavier rock drive. This instrument suits guitarists exploring rock, blues, jazz, funk, and country who want one guitar that can handle many genres.

What Sets the SST62 Plus Apart

Unlike most ST-shaped guitars that ship with three single-coils, this Plus variant upgrades the layout to HSH for a noticeably thicker bridge voice without losing the classic Strat-style snap in positions 2 and 4. The 6-saddle vintage-style synchronized tremolo, dual-action truss rod, and 1-ply mint green pickguard deliver a vintage-correct aesthetic that matches the tonal character.

Body Construction and Tonewoods

Basswood is the tonal anchor of this instrument — a light, soft tonewood that produces a balanced response with emphasized mids, soft bass, and smooth highs. The polished finish protects the 3-Tone Sunburst top while adding a reflective, stage-ready sheen.

• Body Material: Basswood — light, balanced tone with emphasized mids
• Polished finish — glossy lacquer that resists minor scratches and adds stage-ready sheen
• Construction Method: Bolt-on — classic ST-style neck joint for easy servicing

Neck Profile and Fingerboard Specs

A C-shaped maple neck with rosewood reinforcement runs into a 21-fret rosewood fingerboard, giving the SST62 Plus a familiar vintage feel under the fretting hand. The 42 mm nut width suits both rhythm chording and lead bends.

• Scale Length: 648 mm — standard 25.5" Strat-style scale for tight low-end
• Nut Width: 42 mm — comfortable for chord work and lead playing
• 305 mm fingerboard radius — vintage-style curve that flatters string bending

Pickups, Controls, and Tremolo

The HSH configuration is the heart of this guitar's tonal range. Ceramic humbuckers at the neck and bridge deliver warm, full-bodied output for blues leads and rock riffs, while the ceramic single-coil in the middle keeps positions 2 and 4 bright and articulate.

• Pickup Configuration: HSH — two ceramic humbuckers plus one ceramic single-coil
• Bridge pickup: Ceramic Humbucker — thick, full output for rock riffs and lead lines
• Bridge/Tremolo: 6-Saddle Vintage-Style Synchronized Tremolo — expressive vibrato with stable tuning

Who Should Play the SST62 Plus HSH

The SST62 Plus is the right choice for intermediate players who want one electric guitar covering multiple genres without buying separate instruments. Beginners moving up from a starter SSS Strat will appreciate the thicker bridge humbucker for rock and metal, while blues and jazz players get the warm neck humbucker and classic middle-position quack. Home studio players, weekend gigging musicians, and students looking for a versatile first "real" electric guitar will all find something to work with here.

SX Vintage 62 Series Heritage

SX's Vintage 62 Series draws on the classic ST body shape that has defined electric guitar design since the 1950s. The Plus designation marks the upgraded HSH pickup layout and refined hardware — dual-action truss rod, die-cast tuning machines — that distinguish it from the entry-level SST62. Shipped with a gig bag and truss rod wrench, the SST62 Plus HSH delivers vintage aesthetics at a price point accessible to working players.
