Someone needs to take away my bank account access...

Cause what the fuck did I just buy?
SBC Guitars Cyngus.
Guy is based in the UK and one of these showed up on Reverb yesterday. I have been on a buying spree and couldn't resist sending a bleary-eyed lowball counter offer to the auto-offer I received this morning.
I believe it's a 25.5" scale and has a Seymour Duncan P-Rail in the bridge and a "matched single coil" according to the listing, whatever that means.
Wilkinson trem, which I mostly don't care about (I don't really use FR's or floating trems that much).

 

[Geo]

Definitely.

 

[BeZo]

I got you buddy. I'll take whatever gear you don't want too.

...just not that thing.

 

[BeZo]

Wait. Why the fuck did you pass on this one?!

Now you put me in a moral dilemma!

So if you're serious, which I don't think you are, but idk...if you're serious - I don't love wood tops, grain, brown, etc. That neck is too much for me, but the body of the guitar in the OP isn't lol. Idk man.

i think they say stop, take a deep breath and count to 10 or some shit when out of control emotions are taking over to prevent these kind of accidents

body looks like it's for a headless. combined with "watercolor pastel drips" finish from builder's 5 year old daughter is not a selling point for me.

The pictures in the listing didn't even show the headstock. I had this huge lump in my throat when I realized it might be headless (I'm not a fan) and went researching the builder and model. Thankfully it's not headless. The watercolor is definitely ummm...unique? Obviously this guitar isn't for everyone lol.

I like the wood tops. I'd rather have that slab of ebony for a board. A single cut blank plank is total bass player energy in a guitar.

I'm going to wait for your review of it though. Keep me posted.

In hindsight, nothing about this build is up my alley:

• I have never owned a guitar with an HS configuration.
• I do not love that unfinished body bevel.
• I don't love wood grain showing through on a finish.
• I have never loved these ergo-guitars.
• I own so many 25.5" scale guitars and my home base is 24.75"
  • wtf am I doing?
• Couldn't care less about the floating bridge.
• Killswitch will be new for me.
  • This actually seems cool, but idk how much I'll actually use it in practice.
• The wood control plates clash so much with the wild finish.

So lol, we'll see.

Ha, saw someone playing one of these recently on a YT vid I watched. That's a bit too ridiculous for me, but ummm...I'm not against it per se.

I know there are literally millions of guitars out there and there will always be more, but I'm with you on this. Buyer's market for sure.
