I've just got one of these in red and I'm so impressed with it! I got the gig bag with it (£387 with the gig bag) which is also pretty nice tbh, not measured it but it must be a good inch of what I think is foam padding all round. Little bit of fret buzz up on the first 3 frets but easily sorted with the truss rod, ever so slight blemish along the binding in one spot but you really have to look for it. All in all though it's insane for the money, an LTD EC1000 is £1000+. From actually getting my hands on one of these, the LTD just isn't worth the extra money.
Hello Jake, I think that guitar is killer. I've been looking at those for some time now. Trying to get caught up on some of your videos. Keep up great playing I really enjoy videos to. Rock on Bro.
I cannot believe how good this guitar is, I got it a few weeks ago and only 222 ! What? Although mine needed a good a-la-Luthier setup - I did have to re-set a little bit the weight of the B and E lower strings for a slight buzzing suddenly I felt (heard) like I was playing a Gibson! Now I have an eye for the Matt Black one... mmm Note: yes, I got the SC-Custom II instead, with different pickups, but it is great for 222 !
It's very similar to the ESP Alex Skolnick. The LTD version has a veneer so Harley Benton have done better here for a fraction of the price. I have a Fret king Eclat in a similar finish - I'd be interested to see how they compare. £369 did you say?

I have this but have never really bonded with it, however, it is a VERY well made guitar and sounds crystal clear.

Great guitar and great review. Really enjoy your style of playing.
According to Thomann the top is a flame maple top, and not a vanier.
And the HB wish list grows.... Nice job as usual Jake!
Are u using the diezel?🤘🤘🤘
It is a top, you also get a proper top with the SC 550 2 for £260!
Nice
Hey man is it neck heavy or not?
