SC-1000 SBK Progressive Line : My new favourite toy!

Just like everyone else, I was initially quite shocked by the way it looks, it is definitely a beauty. Quality-wise, mine doesn't seem to have any issues at all: the neck, frets, and strings are all properly adjusted and aligned, and look fantastic for the price. The guitar came pre-tuned, which was a bonus, but the tuners would be a negative if I had to pick one. Oh, and the weight is on the heavier side, but I already knew that before buying.

The sound is really good for a <200 EUR guitar, the active pickups, though not amazing, do indeed contribute to a high-gain, high-sustain metal-esque style. Contrary to other reviews, I enjoy the clean sound as well. I would have loved a bit more variety by way of the tone knob, but again, at this price point, it's acceptable.

Overall, I'm very satisfied with the guitar and immensely enjoy playing it/learning on it. Highly recommended if metal is your thing and you're looking for something around the 200 EUR mark!
