ST Models

The Phantom **ST** models are their Stratocaster copies. The letter preceding "ST" in the model name denotes which style of Stratocaster it is.

Despite appearing similar, the main differences between the BST and DST are that the BST has a less accurate body shape with less sculpted/rounded edges, no Rosewood "Skunk Stripe", an older tremolo design and lacks the DST's Grover tuning machines. The VST is also similar but takes the DST's upgrades and adds a Maple veneer.
