If you're not a gear snob and think accessible guitars can be good too, get this one. I have the SC-550 II PAF as well and I believe this one is a bit better put together. I also think it's a more original take on the classic Les Paul style of guitars with the thinner body, beveled cut outs and a single push-pull tone knob (which in my book gives more dynamics than using a single volume and two tone pots). Frets are ok (they could be a little more polished), nothing raised or sharp, the colour burst is a bit more appealing than other Harley Benton bursts.
Not perfect, of course. Construction wise it looks perfect but then you notice that the bridge pickup is a bit off center which, as hard as I try can't understand why this is so complicated. Also, the pickup switch stopped working properly after a few uses. I recommend taking cap off from the back of the switch and spurt a bit of contact cleaner on the metal leafs in the switch, then work it a little, the guitar will come alive and sound even fuller then before. I guess the metal leafs get corroded easily when shipping over sea, I had this issue on all my LP style guitars and solved it with a few drops of WD40, they still work fine after a few years.
