SX SST57 Plus HSS 2-Tone Sunburst — Vintage Style with Modern Versatility

SX SST57 Plus HSS 2-Tone Sunburst is a Stratocaster-style electric guitar pairing vintage 1957-inspired aesthetics with a modern HSS pickup layout. A lightweight basswood body and a maple neck reinforced with rosewood deliver the classic feel players expect from an ST design. This model suits guitarists who want traditional Strat playability with the punch of a bridge humbucker.

What Sets This Model Apart

Unlike traditional SSS Stratocaster designs, this guitar swaps the bridge single-coil for a ceramic humbucker, giving players a fuller voice for rock and lead playing while keeping the bright character of the two single-coils. A rosewood strip in the maple neck adds stability, and the dual-action truss rod allows precise neck relief adjustments in both directions.

Body and Construction — Lightweight Basswood

Basswood is prized for its light weight and balanced tonal response with a slight midrange emphasis, making the guitar comfortable for long sessions. The polished finish protects the wood while showcasing the two-tone sunburst. Bolt-on construction provides a snappy attack and straightforward servicing down the road.

• Body Material: Basswood — light, balanced mids, smooth highs
• Finish: Polished — high-gloss lacquer protecting the sunburst
• Bolt-on neck construction ensures a bright attack and easy maintenance for routine adjustments.

Neck and Fingerboard — Maple with Rosewood Reinforcement

The maple neck is reinforced with a rosewood strip, helping it resist warping under string tension and climate changes. A C-shaped profile offers a comfortable grip for chord work and lead playing, while the maple fingerboard provides a bright, articulate tone.

• Scale Length: 648 mm — standard Strat scale length for familiar string tension
• Fingerboard Radius: 305 mm — balanced curve for chords and lead lines
• Nut Width: 42 mm — comfortable spacing

Electronics and Hardware — HSS Pickup Configuration

The HSS layout pairs a ceramic humbucker at the bridge with two ceramic single-coils in the middle and neck positions, controlled through a five-way selector, one volume, and two tone knobs. The bridge humbucker delivers a thicker tone for rock and lead playing, while the single-coils provide the bright, glassy character of classic Strat sounds.

• Bridge Pickup: Ceramic Humbucker — fuller output for rock tones
• Middle/Neck Pickups: Ceramic Single-Coil — bright cleans with classic sparkle
• The bridge features a 6-saddle vintage-style synchronized tremolo for expressive vibrato and stable return-to-pitch performance.

Who Is the SST57 Plus HSS For?

SST57 Plus HSS is aimed at beginner and intermediate guitarists who want a Stratocaster-style instrument covering blues, classic rock, pop, funk, and harder rock. The HSS configuration makes it practical for players who need clean single-coil sparkle and a thicker humbucker voice for distortion-driven tones. The included gig bag and D'Addario USA strings mean the guitar is ready to play out of the box for home practice, lessons, or small gigs.
