SC-1000 SBK Progressive Line : A very nice guitar at a budget price

This one is really nice. The matt black finish just adds to the looks and the active pickups deliver a very competent sound.

As the owner of several real Gibson Les Pauls, the shape appealed to me instantly and the two octave neck is a welcome addition.

The hardware is more than adequate and this guitar was very playable out of the box. I was able to drop the action considerably with no buzzing and found myself playing it a lot where I expected to use it just on the odd occasion.

It has a unique sound and feel all of its own, and is very nice to play, which is all you can ask from an instrument.

For this kind of price, you would expect a lot less than you get, but this is good wood with good hardware and punches well above its weight.

No regrets buying this one !
