SC-Custom II Active White : I am okay with it

3 years ago

So I wanted to have this particular sc guitar shape, and I like the design, after market research, it became an easy decision to buy and check what is HB personally.

It came absolutely unchecked and unprepared - I think these shop signatures mean that the guitar is just lying in the box and it's OK to ship it.

Finish - mostly ok, found a few minor painting imperfections that you only will know about.

Neck fingerboard - 1 seems to be painted in this rosewood color(why not in black lol), 2 all over the wood grain was white dust from the main guitar color (somewhere I found how to clean it, somewhere it's too deep - but it doesn't look bad - just shouldn't be there).

3 Guitar nut pasted in roughly.

Tried to set up strings height and delete buzzing on a few frets by myself - but I gave up and gave the guitar to a technician and he was able to tune it quite well. THIS cost me extra cash and 2 weeks time of additional waiting. Only after it became a playable instrument.

Balance and weight - yes it has kinda neck dive. I found weight comfortable.

Pick-ups - nothing special, sounds ok in all genres.

If the slogan of the company is - "That's fine for the money" they made it.
