SC-450Plus VB Vintage Series : Great for the money

6 years ago

For the money, it's a very good guitar. The Alnico 5 pickups sound great, but don't match well. I found that at whatever height I set them to, either the bridge is too bright or the neck is too muddy. So I replaced them with Alnico II PAF humbuckers.

The neck is pretty thick, but comfortable and the maple top looks amazing.

I didn't really like the coil split option for this guitar. Coil split gives a significant volume drop and sounds very shrill in comparison to the standard humbucker mode. If you want switching in this guitar, I would recommend putting a series parallel switch in place, instead of coil split.
