SX SST62+ /HSS Candy Apple Red Elektrikitarr

SX SST62+ HSS Candy Apple Red — Vintage ST-Model With HSS Pickup Flexibility

This electric guitar is built around a solid basswood body paired with a bolt-on maple neck and rosewood fretboard, finished in polished Candy Apple Red and shipped with a gig bag. As part of the Vintage 62 Series, this ST-model brings together traditional retro body styling with a pickup configuration suited to today's wider range of playing styles. The combination of a ceramic bridge humbucker and two ceramic single-coils gives players access to both vintage-style cleans and fuller rock tones from a single instrument at an accessible price.

What Sets the SST62+ HSS Apart in the ST-Model Category

What stands out about this instrument is the pairing of a ceramic humbucker at the bridge with two ceramic single-coils, giving access to both vintage-style glassy tones and fuller rock voices from a single guitar. A dual-action truss rod allows precise neck relief adjustment, and the 6-saddle vintage-style synchronized tremolo supports expressive pitch bends while maintaining tuning stability.

Body Construction — Tonewoods and Finish

Basswood is light and resonant, producing a balanced voice with emphasized mids that translates well across rock, blues, jazz, and country.

• Body Material: Basswood — light, balanced tone with midrange focus
• Finish: Polished — high-gloss lacquer protecting the Candy Apple Red color
• Construction Method: Bolt-on — classic ST-model neck joint for easy servicing
• Chrome and nickel plating is used for the hardware to ensure durability during regular play.

Neck & Fretboard — A C-Shape Profile Built for Comfort

The maple neck reinforced with rosewood, paired with a rosewood fretboard in a C-shape profile, sits comfortably in the hand for both rhythm and lead playing.

• Scale Length: 648 mm — standard ST-model scale for familiar string tension
• Nut Width: 42 mm — comfortable spacing for chord shapes and bending
• Fingerboard Radius: 305 mm (12") — smooth curve for chords and runs
• A total of 21 medium-sized frets are included to cover the standard range.

Pickups & Electronics — HSS Configuration for Tonal Range

A ceramic humbucker at the bridge delivers thicker, higher-output tones suited to rock and lead work, while two ceramic single-coils provide the bright, articulate character of classic ST-model voices.

• Pickup Configuration: HSS — humbucker + single-coil + single-coil
• Bridge Pickup: Ceramic Humbucker — fuller, warmer output for rock and lead
• Middle & Neck Pickups: Ceramic Single-Coil — bright, glassy cleans
• Control options include one volume knob, two tone knobs, and a standard 5-way switch.

Who the SX SST62+ HSS Is Built For

This model is the right choice for beginner and intermediate players who want a flexible ST-model covering both clean single-coil tones and fuller humbucker-driven rock sounds at an accessible price.
