Redwood ST2-Mini Beginners Electric Guitar - Black

The Redwood ST2-Mini Electric Guitar in Black is ideal for younger players, beginners, and those with a shorter playing reach who are embarking on their musical journey. The diminutive dimensions of the body make the ST2-Mini a more accommodating model for people who aren't quite ready for a full-size guitar. Redwood have gone all out to ensure the longevity of the ST2 by combining superb tonewoods with solid build quality, and all pieced together into an instantly recognisable double-cutaway body shape.

Balanced alder body

The body is crafted using alder, a tonewood that is favoured for its balanced timbre with subtle low-end, punchy mids, and crisp highs. Whatever style of music you play from jazz to funk, blues to rock - and everywhere in-between -, alder provides a versatile tonal palette to play with.

The ergonomically designed body is shaped to a very popular double-cutaway profile, with contours and bevelled edges for enhanced playing comfort. Whether you're seated or standing, the ST2-Mini sits snugly against you throughout each performance. Thanks to the double-cutaway profile, the highest frets are within easy reach.

Canadian hard maple neck

Fitted to the body via a sturdy bolt-on construction is a durable Canadian hard maple neck. Shaped to the comfortable "C"-shape profile, the scaled-down dimensions of the neck make it very easy for smaller hands to navigate. The back of the neck has been treated with a matte finish to reduce the chance of stickiness from affecting the playability of the neck, which promotes a smooth and fast-playing feel. Married to the neck is a 22-fret rosewood fingerboard, with dot position inlays to guide your way. A composite fingerboard creates a luxurious playing feel, whilst holding up well to consistent playing so that you can pick up and play anytime.

Versatile pickups

The ST2-Mini is equipped with a single-coil pickup in the neck position, and a humbucker in the bridge position. The single-coil offers a chunky output, which offers a little sizzle that sits just perfectly for playing blues, jazz, funk, rock, etc. The humbucker gives a crisper tone, and a thick mid to low-end energy that makes it great for cranking out some fat riffs. Alternatively, you can dial this back and appreciate the smoothness of the output with exceptional clarity throughout.

Control over the pickups comes in the form of single master volume and tone controls, with a three-way pickup selector switch that enables you to select either pickup individually, or combine the output of both for a wider and fuller sounding output.

Hardware and finish

The headstock is fitted with sealed die-cast tuning machines, which secure strings firmly so that once you have set your desired tuning, it remains that way throughout each and every performance. The body is home to a vintage-style steel tremolo bridge, which creates a seamless connection between the strings and body to optimise intonation and sustain, whilst allowing you to have effortless tremolo control as you play. The body is finished in an understated yet stylish black, with white pickguard protecting the top around the pickups and control pots across the lower bout.
