SC-450 P90 GT Classic Series : I've fallen in love.

I'll start with the problems the most noticeable being the fret ends. I had to round them off with a file to make this guitar comfortable, they were just a bit sharp. The second issue was in the tailpiece where the bass side did not fit around the post, and again I had to file off some material. About 30 mins work all in.

And now it is a total joy to play. The pickups are raucous with a distinct pop when you strike a string (which are stock); these P90s love drive and clean up really well so you can go from clean to dirt with the switch. The tuners are reasonable but do stick a little. Volume and tone controls both have a full range, and the hardware have given me no problems.

It's pretty. More copper-top than gold, but the finish has a subtle metallic sparkle when viewed up close. The binding on the neck gives a feeling of a higher-end guitar. The neck inlays and cream plastics do a really good impression of a late 50s LP. And the guitar is heavy, as it should be.

I've put aside my other guitars for the moment because this one is covering all the sounds I could ask for.
