SC-450Plus CB Vintage Series : I'd recommend it.

I've been wanting a LP-style guitar for quite some time already. Due to budget restrictions though i was hesitant to go for mid-level guitar, hence why I decided to try out Harley Benton's SC-450 Plus. I'm a guitar enthusiast and I absolutely love playing at home which also contributes to me not wanting to spend too much cash.

Basically, I've been absolutely stunned by this guitar. The only weak point i would say is tuners which don't really hold tune all that great, but other than that this guitar is just amazing for me - it sounds like a Les Paul, it feels like a Les Paul and it looks like Les Paul.

Decent setup out of the box, didn't require much fiddling even with intonation. The overall finish is just spot-on with no imperfections and the top veneer is looking absolutely gorgeous. No crackling on pots, no actual visible issues with it except for weak tuners which I'd recommend replacing first.

Pros: excellent finish and overall look, very good out of the box setup, good sounding pickups, solid pots with split-ability.

Cons: tuners are first to be replaced.
