SX SST57+ Vintage White Sähkökitara

SX SST57 Plus Vintage White — Classic Strat Feel at an Accessible Price

SX SST57 Plus Vintage White brings the iconic double-cutaway Stratocaster silhouette within reach of players who want genuine single-coil tone without paying vintage-instrument prices. Built around a basswood body, a bolt-on maple neck and a maple fretboard, this model captures the bright, articulate character that has defined the S-style guitar since the late 1950s. Polished Vintage White finish, three-ply pickguard and dot inlays give it the unmistakable look of a classic workhorse.

What Sets the SST57 Plus Apart

Two design choices elevate this guitar above typical budget Stratocaster copies: the maple neck carries a rosewood reinforcement strip that helps resist warping under string tension. Chrome die-cast tuners lock in tuning more securely than pressed-metal alternatives when the 6-screw tremolo bridge is being used for vibrato work.

Body Construction — Lightweight Basswood With a Polished Finish

Body shape and wood choice directly shape how the instrument feels and resonates. Basswood is a midweight tonewood known for balanced response — present in the mids, smooth in the highs, with enough body for clean arpeggios and overdriven chords.

• Body Material: Basswood — balanced tonal response
• Finish: Polished — smooth, reflective surface that highlights the Vintage White color
• Weighing in at approximately 3.2 kg, the body is light enough for long practice sessions and stage sets.

Neck & Fretboard — Maple Construction With Vintage Geometry

A bolt-on maple neck with a maple fretboard keeps the attack crisp and the note definition clear — a hallmark of S-style guitars. The 648 mm scale length is the standard for this body shape, giving the strings the tension and snap that single-coil pickups are designed to capture.

• Neck Material: Maple with rosewood reinforcement — adds rigidity for stable tuning under tremolo use
• Fretboard Material: Maple — bright attack and a smooth playing surface under the fingers
• Scale Length: 648 mm — standard S-style tension and tuning stability
• Nut Width: 42 mm — comfortable grip for both rhythm chording and lead work

Pickups & Hardware — Three Single-Coils and a 5-Way Layout

The SSS pickup configuration is the heart of the Stratocaster sound, and the instrument keeps that formula intact. Three single-coil pickups feed a master volume, two tone controls and a 5-position selector switch — the standard layout that delivers everything from the bright bridge position to the warmer neck position.

• Pickup Configuration: SSS — three single-coil pickups
• Controls: 1 volume, 2 tone, 5-way pickup selector — standard Stratocaster wiring for familiar response
• Bridge: Standard 6-screw tremolo — supports subtle vibrato while holding tune
• Factory Strings: D'Addario USA — ready to play straight out of the box

Who Should Play This Model

This model is the right choice for beginners stepping into their first electric guitar who want a real single-coil sound rather than a stripped-down starter instrument. Intermediate players looking for a reliable backup or a modding platform will find value here — the standard Stratocaster layout means pickups, pots and switches can be swapped without custom routing.
