Another one Strat copy, another one from China... Stagg says that S-302 was made from "solid alder wood". Well, it is. Neck is from hard maple with rosewood fingerboard, 21 frets. Interesting thing to say is that on back side of panel you can see an aluminium foil (yeah, factory shielding!) - it's so cute:) Pickups for Fat Strat model, S-S-H , humbucker at bridge(classic Start tremolo). Tuners also from Stagg, not bad at all. Oh, with guitar you get a free cable! Wow! :)))
Sound

I like trash, deth and rock'n'roll. And Stagg sounds pretty well for me! Now you can laugh, but it's really good. Clear sound, heavy distortion - just move the switch! Very few noises (remember the foil?:)), hard attack, I like it! Ok, not all as good as I write, the humbucker sound isn't so good, but you can always change pickups, right?

It looks nice. Mine is in gloss white colour, without that goddamned "yellow-shade" effect, all fits it's place. All what you expect from 135$ guitar and little more. That guitar is very comfortable to play, much better than Les Paul:)

No much comments here, if it works for about two months in my hands, it will working long enouth:) That's true. Of cause, you can brake some hardware parts, but you always can buy new. The wood is solid and strong. I don't need anymore:)

Made in China. Ok, that's better than Korea, but not as good as USA:) All I want to say about this guitar and Stagg at all: I want to buy their Les Paul Gothic Black, but now S-302 is a very good guitar for me, much better than other shit that I saw at music shops. If you want to learn to play electric guitar or like to upgrade guitars - this one is for you.
PS: remember free cable?:)))
