SC-450Plus VB Vintage Series : Quality starting instrument and more

Firstly, I have been using this HB guitar for quite some time now in rehearsals as it does not hurt to travel with it to different rehearsal places.

All in all, a guitar that everyone could use for either gigging or learning to play. For me, it has not been an issue at all to use as replacement guitar if my main axe fails or string breaks.

Pros - it was set up really nicely and the guitar just felt phenomenal. The coil-split function is usable and gives a true variety of tones that you can use. The finish on the guitar was great and you can't really ask for much more when it comes to guitar under 200 Euro.

Cons - there are few drawbacks that did make me sad a bit. Firstly, the issue of having to soder ground wire was making me sad but considering the travel distance, I passed it as an unfortunate circumstance. The most important thing though is the fact that the humbucker sound from the Stock Roswell pickups is very muddy, yes, you could say that being a bit muddy is a characteristic of LP Style, but for me, it just didn't feel good, especially in rhythm rock parts, details get lost.

Altogether a quality instrument to have either as your starting guitar (Beware, the neck is a true baseball bat) or as a secondary guitar for gigs.
