Is This the BEST $179 Strat style Guitar on the market? | First Look at the New Tease ST-1 SPR

Torsten and the team over at @TeaseGuitars have done it again! Today we’re taking a look at the brand-new ST-1 SPR. At just $179 with free shipping, this guitar is packed with specs you usually only see on high-end boutique builds. We’re talking about a dark roasted maple neck, 22 stainless steel rounded ball-end frets, and improved paint consistency that makes this white finish pop. I’m walking you through the key distinctions of this new line and giving you some raw tone samples so you can hear these ceramic single coils for yourself. Is there any other Strat-style guitar on the market that can compete at this price point? Let’s find out.
