Great upgrade! Plays well, looks good, worth it.
SamvdHeijden 10.07.2024
This is a very nice update to the HB single-cut range. It plays well, sounds good, came set-up out of the box very well too! Props to Thomann for binging this kind of quality at this price point.

I actually got a little flyer with mine with a photo of this guitar in it. Stating it was the model used in one of the photo-shoots. And it is actually the very same guitar in the pictures on the site. Very cool touch!

As far as the guitar goes, the nut is cut well. The frets are finished well, no sharp edges and they are nice and smooth. The finish and binding looks good. There are a few little spots in the binding to be found here and there, but that's when i really go looking for them. The fretboard material on mine is not as red as some pictures make jatoba look. It's more of a brown hue. The figuring on it is nice too. I'm sure it'll darken up a bit over time and with some more lemonoil applied.

Overall, well worth it!

Fetter P 90 Sound im Stil der Paula.
Herr Munster 16.07.2024
Gekauft in der Hoffnung auf mehr Druck und klanglicher Nähe zum Pendant von G. Trocken angespielt ist sie herrlich resonant und schwingt lange aus. Spricht für's Holz. Die Tonabnehmer haben tatsächlich ordentlich Druck, aber zeigen sich eine schöne Saitentrennung. Die bekommt jetzt noch ein winziges Upgrade der Elektronik, damit die Höhen nicht verloren gehen, wenn man mit dem Volume Regler den Sound anpasst. Im Vergleich zur SC Special klingt sie nochmal deutlich fetter und trennt die Saiten besser.

Kein Matschen bei Gain und Fuzz, clean ebenfalls wunderbar. Kein Bedarf, anderer P90 anzuvisieren!

Die Bünde sind leider nicht ordentlich abgerichtet. Das ist bei Epiphone oder Squier nicht anders. Fret Buzz ist der Regelfall, wenn man tiefere Saitenlagen bevorzugt. Ab dem 11. Bund hatte ich in der Werkseinstellung extremes Schnarren und absterbende Töne auf e,g und h...

Da sie insgesamt einfach ein wunderbares Instrument ist und ich in ihren Klang verliebt bin, geht sie jetzt zum Abrichten und Einstellen zum Gitarrenbauer des Vertrauens. Ihr müsst also mit den Kosten dafür rechnen und grob ein Drittel des Anschaffungspreises drauflegen. Lohnt sich aber!!! Sie klingt deutlich besser als die fast doppelt so teure Sire. Die habe ich 2x wegen der schlechten Verarbeitung zurück geschickt. Die SC Custom 3 bleibt!

Abzüge gibt's also einzig und allein wegen der Verarbeitung der Bünde.

Ach ja, Gewicht ca.4kg.
