@homestudioculture 3 месяца назад

Superb vide!, I'm curious though, did you have a hard time working on the distorted tones, personally whenever I record this guitar my clean DI before even processing has tons of resonance! witch makes it tough to do high gain stuff because it almost always forces me to start notching things, especially when playing fast trem riffs. And of ours I end up with an unusable tone because of the over equing. Would love to know your opinion on the subject.

@JMal883 4 года назад

I bought one of these about 18 months back, managed to get an absolute lemon. Needed to replace the tuners with locking tuners and fit a roller bridge before it was playable. I also sanded back quite a lot of the neck to remove the gloopy gloss finish. Was tempted to send it back but glad I didn’t as it now plays well and is a joy to play. However it cost me about £50 to put right, so I may have been better off going for a SC550.

Where was this when I started playing almost 6 years ago? Back then my parents got me a Les Paul Special II for literally the same amount as that guitar. I would have loved to have a Les Paul with a carved top, 24 frets, and active pickups when I started out. Though honestly, I want to get one of these in the future as it looks like a great guitar for gigging, jamming, and general travel. It seems like a solid guitar that can easily be replaced if anything happens to it.
