SC-450 P90 GT Classic Series : You get so much guitar for the price!!

5 years ago

Okay so I am a big Les Paul style guitar user in the studio sessions and at home.

So recently i wanted to buy a gold top and played a friends sc-450 gt and was very impressed with the quality, which led me to ordering it.

The pros on this guitar are : good quality build and really good play ability right out of the box (fret board was dry but that is normal during shipping). The finish had zero flaws which for the price point of this guitar is very impressive, I seen guitar 4x the amount with imperfections through out the finish.

The hardware itself is good for the price. For me the only problem was the tuners but that's an easy fix, once i added new tuners it helped the tuning stability. The nut was cut very well with no sharp spots which again is very impressive for the price point.

When it comes to the electronics the pickups in my opinion sounded good and are very usable. The neck pickup is a little to muddy depending on the gain amount but that's where the tone control comes in handy and helps to brighten it up. The controls work well and actually have proper working volume pots.

Now for the downfalls which aren't that bad or hard to fix. I have already mentioned tuning machines but the other problem area is the actual control pots. Unfortunately they are dime sized pots which is a shame but for the price that is to be expected but they work great.

Overall this guitar is one the best playing single cut style instruments I have played in a long time. Definitely would recommend getting if you want a different look or sound with the soap bar pickups.
