SC-Custom Plus EMG FR VBK : A lot of guitar for your money

Bought and delivered in very good time. Generally the finish is really good with just one tiny finishing issue that I’m really being uber picky about. I’m in England so I unbolted the nut and let it rest for a couple of days. The balance of the guitar is great standing up and unlike the epi I had recently the body isn’t ridiculously heavy. One volume pot is crap, very scratchy and is extremely disappointing as I use the volume a lot. It’ll probably clean up and the guitar is under £500 but still really poor on HB’s part. I’ll come back to that as I think it may need replacing. The EMGs however are great and have great clarity when the gain is increased. It’s my first time with active pick ups and I like the them. ‘THE NECK’ is lovely. It feels and plays wonderfully. Really impressed. It’s comfortable for my old broken hands!! The Floyd Rose seems to do what it’s meant to and stays in tune. I’ve set the action a tiny bit lower than how it came but is was pretty good from factory and most people who be ok with it. Overall and bloody good guitar which gets it’s first outing live next month. Only crap thing is the volume pot hence the 4 stars.
