This SC-1000 Progressive Line is a seriously fun guitar for players who like a modern, high-gain sound. The active pickups really cut through, and the glued-in neck gives it a surprisingly solid feel. It's an excellent option for metalheads and rock enthusiasts on a budget who want a guitar that looks and feels much more expensive than it is.
