Parksons ST-40 (3-Tone Sunburst) is a 6-string electric guitar with a 648 mm scale and 22 frets.
This version combines a 3-Tone Sunburst finish, 1 × Humbucker / 1 × Single-Coil pickups and a ST-2 Tremolo bridge. It supports rhythm parts, melodies and technique practice; your amplifier and picking approach also shape the final sound.
ST-40 in practice
The ST-40 uses a straightforward HS layout: a bridge humbucker and a neck single coil. Its three-way switch selects the bridge, both pickups or the neck, while the two knobs provide master volume and tone. This is easy to learn during initial lessons. It accommodates both full riffs and softer clean melodies, with 22 frets for lead exercises.
Construction and playing feel
Body: Solid Wood. Neck: Maple. Fingerboard: Rosewood. The 648 mm scale is paired with 22 frets and a 42 mm nut width.
Pickups and controls
The 1 × Humbucker / 1 × Single-Coil system uses a HS layout. Controls: 1 Volume / 1 Tone. The selector provides 3 positions.
The humbucker element of this layout suits full chords and overdriven lead parts. Try different selector positions with the amplifier settings unchanged to hear differences in attack and frequency balance.
Bridge and maintenance
The ST-2 Tremolo tremolo adds vibrato to chords and melodies. Smooth arm use, correctly wound strings or secure locking tuners, and a properly functioning nut help the guitar return to pitch. Check action and intonation after changing string gauges.
The hardware includes Sealed tuners. Factory string gauge: .009–.042. Wiping the strings and hardware after playing helps maintain the instrument.
