SC-DLX Gotoh Daphne Blue : Incredible value

My guitar came almost near flawless, the only two problems with it was a minor blemish inside a binding on a headstock and one of the knobs spins too easily.

And that's it. Other than that - everything is simply amazing.

It came somewhat decently set up (only had to adjust intonation).

It feels and plays great. The fretwork is flawless (which is very good when you have steel frets), the pickups are "workable" (nothing to write home about, but you won't wanna instantly throw them out, that's for sure), and the hardware is good.

I needed a somewhat modern and versatile guitar as an emergency for my studio work, and this one delivered HARD. And for the price - if you told me even 5 years ago that I'd get an instrument I'd wanna keep for sub 250EUR, I wouldn't have believed you.

Also... the finish... In person this color is stunning. Probably the best one they offer on this model. Can't imagine others looking better. It's that good.

10/10. If that's what HB brand has become, then... what a time to be alive!
