When I was first introduced by HB trough the Amarok Baritone I was blown away. That guitar is a piece of heaven by feel,play and looks. So, ofcourse.. I wanted another HB guitar in the same price range.
And don't get me wrong, this SC Custom + is amazing! Playability is spot on and it roars like a beast due to those amazing hot 70 emg's.
But, but, but...
The neckdive. I can't with the neck dive and it's not really comfortable to play standing up either. The body is abit square/bulkish in comparing to example the amarok wich is fine when sitting down to play but standing up it makes it uncomfortable. And yes, I can hear you thinking; 'dOn'T cOmPaRe tHoSe gUiTaRs 'cOsE tHeY aRe cOmPlEtLy dIfFeRenT bOdYsHaPeS!'. I KNOW MY FRIENDS! I own another LP model (epi '95 goldtop) and that isn't as 'harsh and square/bulky' when playing standing up against your arm and body.
But enough with the nitpicking!
Harley Benton my dudes and dudettes, you made yet again a fantastisch piece of shredding machinery and I can't wait to get my hands on another model in the near future!
