SC-Junior LH Vintage Sunburst : Good guitar.

5 years ago

Good guitar. bought this for live use. I love the 1 pickup thing.

Pros

1. it plays well and sounds good.

2. Works well with clean and Overdrive .

3. Frets well finished, level smooth fingerboard edges.

4. tuners fine and stable.

5. electrics are spot on, good to see HB fitting linear pots to their left handed guitars. I normally change mine for left handed taper pots anyway but there is nothing worse than a right handed audio taper pot wired backwards which is what most manufacturers do.

Cons.

1.The pick up is low I needed to raise the pole pieces up really high. could do with a shim for it really.

2. The bridge has sharp edges on the saddles not great for palm muting. I will probably replace the bridge at some point.

3. The top ends of the nut was very square and sharp I have just rounded mine off slightly with a nail file. I had to do same to a £1600 Gibson though.

Overall a good guitar I highly recommend it. I happily jump between this and my Suhr AltT, which was 15x the price, without feeling any difference in playability.
