This CST-24 is a seriously impressive offering for the price. The roasted fingerboard and Roswell pickups give it a surprisingly refined feel and a warm, punchy sound that’s great for rock, blues, and even some heavier styles. It’s a fantastic option for players seeking a quality instrument without the premium-priced tag.

Frequently Asked Questions

Roasted jatoba is harder and more stable, leading to a smoother, faster feel and reduced string binding, especially in varying humidity conditions.
They're surprisingly good! Roswell pickups are well-regarded and the HAF models offer a thick, vintage-inspired tone with a decent amount of output – a noticeable step up from many stock pickups in this price range.
While the coil split provides a brighter, single-coil-like tone, the tonal range isn't as extensive as dedicated single-coil pickups – it’s more of a useful added feature than a full-blown tonal transformation.
