SC-1000 SBK Progressive Line : Metal HB for a good price

After one year I feel like I can write a review for this guitar.

Looks:

Color is matte black, which looks awesome and more "metal". It doesn't pick fingerprints much unless you have greasy, fatty fingers. Binding is of good quality.

Gold colored bridge: teeth of saddles have lost their color, they are now silver. Also bridge has some rost type of wear, you have to look very close to notice them.

Weight is optimal, not so heavy, although feels like it has a mass.

Fingerboard and frets are good, no complaint there, no sharp frets.

Neck: it is not thin like Ibanez, also not so fat. It feels comfortable to put thumb over it.

Tuners: holds tuning for a week even. Maybe small adjustment would be needed after that long of time but during playing I don't need to retune.

Pick-ups: never swapped them, they are active and high-gain, perfect for metal. Three way switch offers tonal variety.

Conclusion: super value for that price, if you want some metal-high gain active guitar you can go for it. It became one of my favourite guitars.
