SC-450Plus HB Vintage Series : Unbelievably good quality, great finishes & good tone woods.

Very quick delivery, doubly protected by the good packaging. I own other guitars by the so called better manufacturers, and this is as nice to play as any of them, the neck is beautiful to play, couldn't snag a wooly jumper on it if you tried and it outshines most of my other guitars with the quality of finishes. I can't vouch for the long term quality of the electrics, but they have a good feel to them so far.

Sounds are good, but I'll probably put some other PU's in for comparison. I bought it as a "project guitar" to add a Bigsby vibrato, a preamp and piezzo pick up bridge which mean drilling and routing the guitar. It's such a nice guitar I'm having second thoughts now about cutting into it.

The only negative comment is that I'll need to dress the nut slots a little as the strings are sticking a little after a bend. Lubricating would probably do it OK but I prefer not to use oil, graphite or grease.

Overall it's an outstanding guitar for the price and I'm delighted with it.
