SC-Custom II Vintage Black : Unbelievable value for the price.

I own several guitars, five of them are in the $150-$250 price range. This is by far and away the best quality low priced guitar I have ever owned. It's not even close. It's easily a mid-range guitar for a rock bottom price. This SC Custom II has a great set up right out of the box. It stays in tune quite nicely. Pick ups are solid, but nothing amazing. Neck feels super comfortable and easy to play. Grover tuners feel very nice. I didn't need to mess with intonation at all. The only thing I did was file the nut a bit to accommodate heavier strings. Regardless of price, it's one of the most beautiful single cut Les Paul style guitars out there. My only con is that it isn't as ergonomic to play as a strat while sitting in your lap, but it's not huge deal. This is hands down the best bang for your buck guitar out right now. Just buy it!
