Product no: 9000-0045-8768 Bax Music Warranty: This product comes with a 3-year warranty.

General

The deluxe Fazley Startist Plus ST118 electric guitar comes loaded with high-grade hardware and electronics and fierce, ST-style sound, putting outstanding comfort and playability within affordable reach. This solid student-model boasts the full support of a bridge and set of pickups made by Wilkinson, as well as GraphTech and Alpha components. It also comes complete with a gig bag.

The Startist Plus ST118: Deluxe Upgrades

The classic body of the Fazley ST118 has been made using high-density ash, giving this instrument its superb resonance and clarity which is further enhanced by the fitted GraphTech TUSQ nut. Mounted with a set of three Wilkinson MWVS single-coils; directly based on classic '60s pickups and loaded with ceramic magnets, this electric guitar has been fully set-up to deliver the incredibly versatile tone that ST-models are so renowned for.

Unrivalled Playing Comfort

Wilkinson have also taken care of the modern two-point tremolo bridge and set of six, flat-block saddle that not only firm-up intonation but provide a comfortable palm-rest for your playing hand. The Wilkinson machine heads make sure of solid tuning, the slightly flatter, 16-inch radius of the blackwood fretboard has a snug feel beneath the fingers, so chords and licks can be grabbed with a light, easy grip, finishing this solid Fazley-made guitar.

Wrote the following about Fazley Startist Plus ST118 3-Tone Sunburst with Gig Bag

For £94 it's a steal. The guitar is very heavy, due to the ash body. I play sat down, so doesn't bother me. This guitar looks and sounds great. The fit and finish is perfect, didn't even have to alter the action, it's nice and low. Wilkinson pups, bridge. and tuners as well, that if bought separately would cost the asking price. Alpha pots aswell. I have the pink, surf green and now the sunburst versions of this guitar. Can go wrong at this price. Arrived within five days as well. Plus you only pay what's on the screen, no extra import charges rubbish if you want a strat that's punches way above it's price tag, get one.

Fazley Startist Plus ST118 3-Tone.
This a great guitar for the money paid. I am only a very amateur player and have only had the guitar about a week but I think the electronics and hardware alone make it worth the purchase. The actual model I bought was B Stock but to be honest the overall quality of the guitar is great. The fret ends are smooth, paintwork looks good and everything works as it should. I like the whammy bar as it's a simple push in piece that doesn't get loose like the screwed in ones. The guitar was pretty much playable out of the box and nice and clean. I only had to tune up a bit and adjust the height of the pickups as I think they were a bit low. It even came with a slightly padded gig bag, amp lead and allen keys. Personally I think the gig bag is a bit small as it's a squeeze to get the guitar in and out but for free as such it can be overlooked. All in all I would recommend this product as for the price, equipment on board and quality, it's easily superior to other expensive brands.
