SC-Custom II FR Vintage Black : Really nice guitar for the price

5 years ago

I've been a guitar player for 11 years and this is a very nice addition, I mostly play metal on this but the coil split plus the floyd rose is something I've never tried and sounds pretty amazing. It came with a pretty dirty fretboard and the color is a lot lighter than the picture, the bridge cavity is very ugly, the backplates came pretty scratched and there are some minor imperfections on the finish both in the body and the headstock but nothing too bad.

Either way. For the price, the overall finish is beautiful, the neck feels great and compared to my Epiphone Ultra ll, the build quality feels great.

Pros

-Floyd Rose

-Coil Split

-Nice neck

-Good Pickups

-Nice finish

-Strap Locks (haven't tried them yet but it's still a nice feature though)

Cons (Depending on the person)

-Weight (this thing is HEAVY. I estimate around 10-15kg and most of the weight is on the body)

-Floyd Rose (if you're unpatient or are unwilling to learn how to set it up, don't get this)

Cons

-Came with the allen key for the truss rod but not for the bridge mechanism.

-Dirty fretboard

-Ugly and unfinished floyd rose cavities

-Volume knob is not as sensitive/responsive as I would like it to be.
