LeoThunder will tell you all there is to know about most guitars 😁 They have different electronics in the single cut/les paul type guitars, some have coil split, I believe the customs have 1 vol and 2 tone knobs but I may be wrong.

SC-Customs have 2 volume and 1 tone knob They also have a cutaway on the back instead of a sharp angle digging in the player's ribs. The SC-500 has unbranded pick-ups. I can't say how bad a thing that is. I'm not a fan of the so-called "warm", castrated Les Paul sound so I insist on coil split which is present on most SC-Custom, including the VB. The basswood in the SC-500 might make it lighter.

Is the SC-450 a better deal than the 500 ? Differences are minimal. The SC-500 has gold hardware and pick-up covers, dark pick-up frames and knobs. It looks better. Real differences are in the SC-450 Plus: mahogany, Roswell pick-ups with coil split, flame top, Kluson-style tuners.

Don't bother with the old stuff, get the 7-string Ha ha. Not a bad idea. But I had an Ibanez 7 string before. I never played it. I can barely play 6 string, let alone a 7 string. Does one more string make things difficult or is it the other way around?

Good question LeoThunder. But before we can arrive at a answer we should consider if a single string guitar is easyer to play than one with six strings?

Aio As SC-Customs are out of stock for now, I've been eyeing the SC-7 JBB, but I admit to be somewhat scared of fanfrets and 7 strings. I do like the 24 frets instead of 22 though, which would otherwise require the Flyod Rose version of the SC-Custom... Thing is, I honestly can't tell if "don't bother with the old stuff, get the 7 strings" is a joke or not If it is not, then I'd like to know what do you think about the SC-7 Ash body instead of Mahogany. Do you still recommand an SC-7 over an SC-Custom ? Thanks

Do you still recommand an SC-7 over an SC-Custom ? I cannot tell either. The "old stuff" related to the "vintage" emulation aspect which is not as pronounced with the SC-Custom. I am not afraid of one or two more strings. I never played a multi-scale. People who have say it's not a difficulty. I don't care for the type of wood used but the SC-7 has a mahogany body and neck anyway. From what I heard, the SC-7 has a very bass-heavy sound. I suppose this is a characteristic of its pick-ups and that would worry me. It will also be heavier. Oh, and its scale length is something civilised too, which is another plus point. I prefer a longer neck. As strange as it seems, I am still tempted by the SC-7.

eddie the HB SC Model as 450 or 500 or SC Custom are copies of ESP LTD, so if you want to know more about these HB simil Les Paul you must refer to this brand. For example the HB SC 1000 ESP EC 1000HB SC 1000
