I'm trying REALLY HARD not to buy one of these. You guys are killing me. I don't need another guitar. I don't need another guitar. I don't need another guitar. I don't need another guitar. But, I think I might need this one.
I bought a B-stock one of these a few weeks back in the same finish. (£220) What an INSANE amount of guitar for the money! This has got to be unbeatable for the price. I did a slight bridge adjustment, out of the box, and it was "good to go" I still haven't found the fault that rates it as a B-stock! Perhaps it was just a return, whatever!, it's a really nice player and I love it. I was intending to put burst buckers into it but I think I'm going to stick with the Tesla's as I kinda like them the more I play it. HB just get better and better. It's hard to fault the quality for the price.
Just got mine yesterday. The black cherry. I don’t even have my amp or any other settings really dialed in yet and this thing sounds AMAZING!! The Tesla pickups are sick!! This is easily as good as anything under $1,000 that I’ve played. I’m a Strat guy, and this thing may keep me away from my other guitars for awhile. I’m absolutely in love with this thing. If anyone is thinking about it, just do it!
Could You send me some pics of Your BCF? I ordered one today and I cannot find more pictures of the BCF on the I*net. would be great (adrian142@gmail.com or a link to the cloud).
@@mike5177 Reason is that on the T... website the guitars often look quite different than what You get. Does not seem to be the case with the SC-550 II's though. ;)
Someone told me once that the ONLY reason the 'authentic' guitars are more expensive is because idiots will pay the bloated prices for a name on a headstock. There are so many cheaper alternatives to that company's overpriced offerings which have similar build quality - or even better in some cases!
I have one coming this week in this finish, honestly - you can beat the features and quality for the price. I had an Epiphone Les Paul Modern a few weeks back and had to return it as the fretwork was absolutely awful on the thumb side of the neck causing unaccetable fret buzz from the sprout, rough tooling marks, dirty neck binding, and a fingerboard crack. Had everything going for it but sadly wasn't meant to be, the general QC was embarassing. Now these Harley Bentons are made in Indonesia and quite clearly are properly inspected - what's the point of paying for a Gibson which have hit and miss QC unless you spend 4k on one when you can get one of these badboys and have A LOT of spare change left over. You are literally paying for a name nowadays...
Yes, but they are very tough on your files and leveling tools. This is why luthiers hate to do fret jobs on stainless steel fretted guitars. They will often charge an upcharge due to the extra toll it takes on their tools and the extra effort they have to put into it. But to me, it's worth the additional cost to play on stainless steel frets! They are super smooth when bending notes, and they hold up for years before showing signs of wear or pitting. To have your regular frets replaced with stainless steel frets, you can expect to pay about $500 - maybe more.

I have Tesla Opus pickups in my Epiphone Dot for about 7 years now. I don’t think I will ever get sick of them 😅
Got this exact guitar about 2 weeks ago. Love it. Jury still out on pickups, but rest of guitar is amazing for the money.
That's The best out of the 3 that I've been looking at, great demo.
It sounds very good. 277 euros for that is just unbelievable !
Awesome demo. It looks beautiful and sounds beautiful. I am excited for mine to arrive.
Sounds and looks excellent. And if it's anything like my SC-450plus in build quality, it plays excellent as well!
Гитара супер.но меня больше поражает игра этого человека.послушать бы его в группе.хвалю,спасибо.
You got some killer flamed top there!

@@duesenberger I sent an email. They actually shouldn’t be hard to find directly on there website.
@@mike5177 Great! Received!!

@@duesenberger Yeah, I definitely got more than I expected. I friggin love this thing.
Looks great, sounds good, what is the reason to pay 10x times for the “authentic”?

There is no reason unless you want the name on the headstock, and with stainless steel frets this will be cheaper to maintain as well.
@@olafburgermann806 There are more than enough budget-priced, and reasonably-priced guitars with stainless steel frets.
The body and the neck of the SC550 II is made of Meranti, not Mahogany. They used Mahogany on the SC550 (discontinued) made in Vietnam.

Fucking great, man...JUST FUCKING GREAT!!!
HELL YA...Cheers.
ooo. I feel the need to get another guitar.
Brilliant
Finally a demo where the hi-gain tone doesn't sound like someone ran it through a rat pedal from the 90s.
I’m choosing between sc550ii and hb35plus as for me hb35 looks better but sc550 sounds better. Help me to decide guys.
si può sostituire il manico ?
Do you use axefx amp block of real peavey? Thks
Is it possible to file stainless frets if they come uneven?
Yes, but they are very tough on your files and leveling tools. This is why luthiers hate to do fret jobs on stainless steel fretted guitars. They will often charge an upcharge due to the extra toll it takes on their tools and the extra effort they have to put into it.

Sounds terrible and no has no body! HB is not first in human playing and workouts! But good prices!
