The electric guitar ST-70 by Harley Benton, It has passive pickups, which consist only of the coil that "translates" the movement of the strings into an electric signal. This type of pickups is widely used and the most common compared to others.

The arrangement of the pickups equipped on the guitar ST-70 is HSS, which describes the number, position, and type of the pickups. Specifically, the combination of the letters H and S stands for humbucker and single, respectively. For example, if we have an HSS pickup configuration, then the guitar has 1 Humbucker pickup and 2 Single coil pickups. Additionally, the order of the letters determines the position of the pickups, with the first letter representing the bridge position, the last letter representing the neck position, and the middle letter, if present, indicating the middle position. However, if the configuration has only one letter, then the pickup is usually placed in either the bridge or neck position.

Finally, the bridge, apart from the metallic frame, features a tremolo, which is a system of springs that allows you to move the entire bridge by manipulating a lever, in order to create special effects on the sound, as the name implies. Changing strings is more complicated, and the system needs to be adjusted by an experienced person to avoid losing tuning every time it is used.
