PSD Guitars STC-100M-HSS Matte Black — Stealthy ST-Model With HSS Range

The PSD Guitars STC-100M-HSS Matte Black is a right-handed ST electric guitar for those wanting a low-gloss finish and tonal versatility. Rather than reflecting light, the matte black finish absorbs it, so fingerprints stay less visible. With a classic ST body, this model uses a basswood body, a bolt-on maple neck, and a rosewood fingerboard for a traditional yet comfortable feel. It comes equipped with a tremolo arm and cable so you can plug in right away.

What Sets This ST-Model Apart

Pairing a ceramic humbucker at the bridge with two ceramic single-coils, this instrument offers a wider range than typical three-single-coil setups. The 6-point tremolo bridge lets you bend notes with confidence while maintaining stable tuning. Adjusting neck relief is quick, thanks to the head-adjustable truss rod.

Body and Neck Construction — Lightweight Basswood With a Stable Maple Neck

Basswood keeps the instrument lightweight for long rehearsals, while the tone remains balanced and smooth in the highs. The bolt-on maple neck delivers a snappy response, and the rosewood fingerboard enhances warmth and playability.

• Body: Basswood — light weight and balanced midrange response
• The neck is made of maple, bolted on for stability and to resist warping through frequent use.
• Rosewood fingerboard — adds warmth and a smooth playing surface

Pickups and Electronics — HSS Configuration for Clean and Drive Tones

The HSS setup puts a ceramic humbucker at the bridge for powerful rock sounds, complemented by two bright ceramic single-coils for sparkling cleans. You have a 5-way switch to expand your sound palette, with master volume and two tone controls for further shaping.

• Bridge Pickup: Ceramic Humbucker — thick, full output for distortion
• The middle and neck single-coils bring out bright, glassy cleans, great for classic ST sounds.
• Passive electronics with 5-way switch — straightforward and dependable

Hardware and Playability — Ready-to-Play Setup Out of the Box

A 647.7 mm scale and 42 mm nut width give the neck a comfortable, ST-inspired shape, suitable for chords and leads. Players benefit from 22 medium-jumbo frets on a 350 mm fingerboard radius, making bends easy. Black hardware matches the guitar's stealthy look.

• Scale Length: 647.7 mm — standard ST tension for familiar feel
• Nut Width: 42 mm — comfortable grip for most hand sizes
• 6-point single tremolo bridge — expressive vibrato with stable tuning return
