SC-450Plus HB Vintage Series : Great Guitar But Needs Work

The shipping was fast. About a week to get from Germany to Texas. I ordered 2 other instruments and honestly, I was not impressed with how it was packaged but thankfully everything survived in fact the body on this guitar looked perfect. No dings or dents or marks that others have said to have. The main issue was the frets, strings, and tuners. The frets were rough and had some grime on them. I immediately took the strings off and polished the fretboard. I then put on a new set of Ernie Ball strings. Readjusted the pickup placement and knob placement. I then set up Intonation as best I could which honestly was pretty hard. Although it has a the tunomatic style bridge I never could get the intonation that close. This might be due to the tuners which are the worst part of this guitar. If you don't plan on ever using this live. It is not an issue. Overall it is an amazing guitar. Beautiful finish and a good feeling neck. Feels like a instrument 3 times its price after the small work I put into it. Out of the box it's fine but not its best.
