SC-450 P90 GT Classic Series : Great guitar period

The SC-450 P90 GT is a great guitar period. In fact, compared to its big brother the SC-550, I believe it is a better guitar.

The Pros:

-Value, tough to believe there is that much quality in a $152.00 guitar, but yet there is.

-Sound, Great straight out-of-box sound from the P90's. I'm sure a little adjusting is in order, but for now, play away.

-Setup, intonation was almost perfect, a couple of strings were a little sharp, but well within specs as far as I'm concerned.

-Looks, a Very nice gold top with quality binding and nice inlays. The headstock looks very Harley Benton (ish) and nothing wrong with that.

Construction- Everything was put together nicely with no flaws. The fretboard could stand a little Lemon oil which is just like every guitar that I buy. The frets were smooth and decently polished. I haven't put it on my workbench yet, but I haven't had any buzzing, so the frets seem to be great from the factory. The Basswood body is fine, you can feel the difference between it and the 550, but it's not enough to worry about.

I say the 450 is better than the 550 due to its sound. The 450 pickups are nice, not muddy (my SC-550 is super muddy on the neck pickup), and produce a very nice single-coil sound but with a warmer sound. Just like the p90 is supposed to do.

-Cons, not any that I found, as a matter of fact, mine came completely ready to play, including the factory strings.

If you are in the market for a quality instrument for a little money, this is the guitar for you.
