SC-450 P90 GT Classic Series : Not impressed but ok for the price

I follow the hype of hb guitars and try one with specs I didn't have in my collection ( gold top, p90s ).

I know that in this price range you cannot simply have high expectation but I read so many good commends for all hb guitars and wanted to try one.

I receive my guitar and the first that I notice was the dots and scratches underneath the gold finish, you cannot feel it with your hand but is visible enough.

Fret buzz is something you might expect, mine needs fretwork, you simply can't play with so much buzz.

Parts is ok except the pickup selector that is really awful.

I like that knobs respond very well, also I surprised by the neck pickup, it has genuine p90 sound, I can't say good words for bridge pickup, is very bright and need tone control handling constantly.

The Blackwood fretboard is beautiful as it look like ebony wood and it seems to be more 'expensive' in the eye.

So if you want a budget friendly guitar and you can do all the work it needs by yourself its a good choice. But don't have a big expectation, it cannot play out of the box and it has minor issues.

Also if you like light guitar is not for you, mine weights 4.6 kg!!

The price is correct for the guitar and for that reason I choose not to return the guitar back and keep it for project guitar.
