SC-Custom II SPAF : Solid, beautiful guitar

Just as beautiful in person as in pictures. The guitar came in perfect condition and is very well made. As far as setup, I had to lower the action (it would probably be fine if you don't have any preference) and tune it up, but otherwise, it was ready to go.

The hardware all feels nice, obviously not as nice as on an expensive guitar, but I don't foresee needing to change any of it any time soon. I played it for about three hours after pulling it out of the box (couldn't put it down --it's very playable) and only tuned it back once because high E dropped a little but it wasn't really noticeable. I only knew because I was surprised at how well it was holding tune. The pickups are fine and for a beginner would be good long-term, but I'll probably upgrade them in the near future.

Overall, the guitar is really nice as is but would be an excellent mod platform since it's such a good-looking object. For other Americans, I'd say it's definitely worth the wait and shipping costs.

I'll try to update this in a year after I see how it holds up over time.
