SC-500 BK Vintage Series : Amazing build for the price

What you are getting for the price paid is amazing. Finish is perfect, the binding is almost flawless, the weight is spot on, the neck is nice and thick to play even though is it painted. However, there are some details worth mentioning:

- The pickups are super microphonic, waxing needed. They sound a little dark but they are totally usable.

- Some frets are high, this is annoying but might be an issue not all guitars have.

- Tuners does not help with tuning stability. They are cheap and replacement is needed.

- Bridge is a little unstable. Same as the tuners, replace it!

I bought this guitar mainly to upgrade basically everything so no issues for me. Fret work is definitely needed so I have to buy tools for that, but I also bought this guitar to learn how to properly do a set up. So for me this guitar is perfect.
