SC-450 P90 GT Classic Series : For the money, you just can't get any better

I've always been a P90 fan, since many years ago I was lucky enough to "take a ride" on a friend's Les Paul Goldtop. I was fascinated by the clarity and sonic articulation that the guitar pickups were able to express, so different from the humbuckers usually associated with an LP. Fast-forward to the present day, I started playing in a band where that particular sound would have been welcome, and not having the huge economic means necessary to buy the reissue of the original, I decided to buy this guitar, starting from the consideration that , given the price, even if it turned out to be a mistake I would not have cried for a long time.

Well, it wasn't a mistake, far from it!

The guitar is built very well, well balanced and without any error in painting. The golden color is rather tending to orange, but this does not disturb at all. The neck is smooth and, after lowering the action slightly by acting on the bridge, the playability is excellent. The pickups are the strong point of this instrument: despite being a little different from the originals (more sparkling and oriented at high frequencies) they retain the typical P90 character. they can be pissed off like a hyena or very sweet, depending on the style with which they are solicited. I won't change them, they are just fine as they are. What I will probably change is the nut and the tuners, which despite doing their job well enough are a little imprecise and don't hold the tuning for long.
