SC-450 BK Classic Series : Really nice guitar

5 years ago

I bought this to be a project guitar and it turns out that there is very little projecting to do to it. It has a couple of little blemishes on the fret board but nothing that hurts the way it plays. I have read in other reviews that the neck is thinner than a 60's slim taper. Mine has a big fat chunky baseball bat neck, not what I was expecting but so far I'm really liking it.

The tuners are pretty good

The pickups are ok

The paint job is beautiful

The set up is not good enough -- it's PERFECT!

In the future I'll change the pickups to a set of SD 59's and that's probably about all.

This is a less than $200 guitar shipped to the United States so don't expect something like a high dollar Gibson to show up but rather something along the lines of a $600 Ibanez with a few blemishes in it.
