Pasadena ST-11 HSS Sunburst Guitarra elétrica

Affordable ST-Model Electric Guitar with HSS Flexibility

Few body shapes have shaped popular music the way the double-cutaway ST design has, and the Pasadena ST-11 puts that legacy within reach of every beginner. Built with a basswood body, maple bolt-on neck, and Indian rosewood fingerboard, this ST-Model electric guitar delivers the balanced tonal foundation that has made the platform a staple across rock, blues, pop, and funk. Even at this price, the instrument still includes a polished gloss finish, chrome hardware, and a full complement of passive ceramic pickups — nothing essential is missing from the package.

HSS Pickup Configuration and Dual-Action Truss Rod

What distinguishes this model from other entry-level ST guitars is the HSS layout: a ceramic humbucker at the bridge handles thick rhythms and singing leads, while two ceramic single-coils deliver the glassy, articulate cleans associated with classic ST tones. Precise neck relief adjustment is possible thanks to the dual-action truss rod, a feature often absent on budget instruments and one that pays dividends as strings age and seasons change.

Lightweight Basswood Body and Maple Neck for All-Day Comfort

Tonewood selection directly affects how a guitar feels and responds under the fingers. Basswood is prized for its low weight and neutral sonic character, letting the pickups do the coloring while keeping the instrument comfortable during extended playing.

• Body Material: Basswood — lightweight with balanced mids and smooth highs
• Neck Material: Maple — stiff and stable, resists warping over time
• Players will appreciate the Indian rosewood fingerboard, which adds warmth and a naturally oily feel for smooth fretting.

Ceramic HSS Pickup Array for Every Genre

Three passive ceramic pickups wired through a 5-way selector unlock a wide sonic palette. The bridge humbucker pushes enough output for rock and metal distortion, while the middle and neck single-coils produce sparkling cleans and quacky in-between positions that funk and pop players crave.

• Bridge Pickup: Ceramic Humbucker — high output for saturated gain
• Middle and Neck: Ceramic Single-Coil — clear, articulate single-coil tones
• Control layout includes Master Volume, two Tone knobs, and a 5-Way Switch for sculpting your sound on the fly.

Vintage Tremolo, Die-Cast Tuners, and 648 mm Scale

Reliable hardware keeps the guitar in tune through tremolo use and string changes. The vintage-style tremolo bridge offers smooth pitch bends, while die-cast tuners provide stable, precise gear ratios.

• Scale Length: 648 mm — standard ST scale for familiar string tension and intonation
• Nut Width: 42 mm — comfortable for open chords without feeling cramped
• With 22 medium frets, you can comfortably solo well past the 12th fret.

First Electric Guitar for Aspiring Rock and Blues Players

Picking up an electric guitar for the first time demands an instrument that stays in tune, feels comfortable, and covers multiple genres without requiring immediate upgrades. The Pasadena ST-11 is the right choice for beginners and intermediate guitarists who need a dependable, affordable ST-style guitar with enough tonal range to grow into. Practicing chords at home, jamming with friends, or playing the first gig is all possible with the HSS configuration and bolt-on construction, making this a practical starting point that remains useful even after the player eventually upgrades to a higher-tier instrument.
