Review: Unbelievable value for an unbelievable price. Wow. - I maybe got lucky on this, but everything about deciding to buy this guitar has been fantastic. I realize that the Chinese and Indonesian guitars have QC issues at times, but I hit a grand slam with this purchase. First off, desertcart packed this so well that it arrived totally protected. There was an inner box around the guitar, and then this box was placed in a larger outer box with a tons of fluffed packing paper protecting the inner guitar box. This would have survived anything. But the outer box was not even dented, and the inner box was in perfect condition. Then, on opening the inner box, this guitar was perfect with no dents, scratches, or injury of any kind. The deep reddish wood grain body and tortoise pick guard are absolutely beautiful, and the roasted neck finishes it off with a look that is beyond fantastic. The total weight is light, and feels really great. After I did some minimal fret work (slight filing of some ends), and height adjustments, I couldn’t put this guitar down for 90 minutes. It not only looks awesome, it is a total joy to play. I’ve been around a while, and I played in the hay days of rock (1960s) in bars and clubs in the midwest USA. I believe that I have owned or played “all” the major guitar brands ever made, so I know what is out there. All I can say is that I love this guitar and I would have used this in my gigs with no hesitation “back in the day” if I had it then. The fact that this is available for under $300 is unbelievable.
Review: Great value! - This guitar turned out to be very decent. Finish: excellent, flawless, I couldn't find a single scratch anywhere. The satin black finish is very beautiful and smooth, and the woods used in the neck are great. Electronics: for this price the pickups are ok, not microphonic, I would like them a bit hotter, but they are usable. The coil splitter for the humbucker works well and produces a nice tone, especially on the second position when combined with the middle pickup. Output Jack is good, pots do their job, although the tone could be more gradual. All of the pickups sound good in clean and overdriven sounds. Setup: it was good out of the box, I lowered the action a bit because that's how I like it, but it was playable upon arrival, intonated. Truss rod works fine. Frets could use some polishing Neck: something to be aware of, this neck is chunky, I measured 22.5mm at the first fret. I guess you could sand it down, but I don't have experience doing that, for now I'll leave it as is. The wood grain and color on the neck are very beautiful, very smooth to play. Fretwire is medium jumbo I think, that makes it comfy to bend strings, and gives plenty of material if fret leveling is required. No fret sprout at all. *The body size seems to be smaller than average strats, this guitar is very light which is good if you have back issues.

## Features

- Crafted from solid wood, the body delivers a warm and resonant tone, perfect for various styles.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Playable right out of the box!
*by W***Y on April 11, 2022*

Had read some good things about Grote guitars so orderered this Pawlownia ST, when it went on sale $70, as I wanted to get a project guitar but also a guitar I can take to parties and gatherings without getting nervous. I unpacked it, let it stand till the following day and truly "I played it straight out of the box" However, that not to say there weren't a few things that needed improving. The neck had too much relief, but this is the same as all the guitars I have bought online, that were $200 plus, as they normally ship from Southern US to my Northern location. I quickly adjusted the truss rod and fixed this. I will also adjust the string heights at the bridge and intonate when I change strings. The fret ends were excellent, in fact I can see the edge of the neck sticking out further than the frets in places, suggesting they sanded the frets before installing on the neck? Different but hey, whatever they did worked well. Fit and finish were very good, only very minor blemishes, equal to my guitars 3 times the price. The deep grain pawlonia wood looks great through the translucent blue (with a hint of turquoise) hard finish, very attractive. The plastic nut is cut perfectly. I have not experienced this with some of the more expensive guitars. Tuners work, but tighten and losen as you turn them. Guitar need constant tuning , new tuners will be the first upgrade with new strings. Tremolo bar supplied but tremolo was screwed down tight, so no tremelo sounds until, claw, springs and tremolo adjusted. If this was your only guitar, pick ups would sound fine, however although adequate to make music they do not sound as good as the ones in my Squire Strat. More fun changing P U's. In conclusion, worth every penny, don't know how Grote do it at this price. Very light, don't worry about the Pawlonia, Fender makes the "Empress" Tele out of the same stuff, so really great for beginners and young axers. Will play out of the box to get you going but will benefit from a full set up. Down the road, with skills and experience improving, make it a project, make the guitar grow with you. Tons of fun, I am really enjoying mine!! Will probably buy more Grote guitars in the future.
