SC-450 P90 GT Classic Series : Great guitar but work to do

5 years ago

Now this guitar is playing and sounds as good as any guitar in 500-1000$ price range. Body, neck, electronics and finish are flawless. Beautiful LP classic vibe. However, I had to fix some issues: 3 high frets and action was way too high (was set to avoid fret buzz) / once the high frets were levelled I was able to set a very low action with no buzz / nut slots too high (cowboy chords out of tune). Had to file slots to standard height / polished all frets / bridge pickup way to low (had to put foam in the cavity to bring the pickup at a standard height) / had to fill one screw hole in the pickup cavity cause the screw had no grip / had to set intonation / fretboard was dry (but beautiful once oiled) / truss rod did not need ajustement (perfect). After a complete setup according to my preferences, this guitar looks and plays great 😊👍. More than happy.
