Impressive -- feels great, looks amazing and sounds good
I bought this to replace a similar guitar, by another manufacturer that I had many years ago, which had high-end hardware, SD pickups and a gorgeous finish. I am very happy with this purchase!
The finish on this looks and feels great, and I really like the binding. There is one small blemish on the side of the body, which in isn't a huge deal. But, unfortunately it's right on the "waist" area, directly in my line of sight while playing. It is so small though, that I really have to look for it to notice. It's likely just a partial fingerprint or smudge in the finish, from while it was curing.
The fretboard is impressive! Yes, it needed some oil, but I'd do that anyway. The action is impressively low, without a hint of a buzz. I am not so much as touching the neck or saddles. I thought I would want to replace the tuners, but I really like them and won't replace them. They look, work and feel good and the guitar stays in tune very well.
The resonance is impressive. The tone, unplugged and plugged in, are beautiful. One of the pots feels a bit scratchy, but functions properly. That was true on my $1200 guitar, too. I don't love gold hardware, and would prefer chrome (or all black), but, this hardware is high quality and looks very good.
It's this guitar that had led to me buying four more from Thomann, and my students have purchased some as well. I'm about to get two more, but shhh, that's between you and me.

Incredible and beautiful guitar for the price!
I'm blown away by the quality for the price. I'd have no issue playing a gig with this guitar as it came. With some Seymour Duncan's it would be on par with my Les Pauls and PRS's for less than a 1/4 of the price!

Just wowed!! (in a good way)
I had to return a Gretsch g220 from another store due to frets coming off the fretboard. And this HB SC550 II BCF almost the same price level actually little less than that - I am just wowed by the quality and sound of this instrument that I have been playing for a week now. Looks so beautiful! Just how Thomann do this? :)

I bought this guitar on the strength of opinion on the web. I must say that Ihoped it wasn,t all hype . Having taken delivery all concerns went away, PLAYED GOOD FROM THE BOX ,a few minor adjustments to my taste and I now find it as pleasing to play as my branded guitar,s at a much more favorable price .The choice of black cherry flame is a delight to look at,and if all you did was hang it on a wall it would justify the purchase.In conclusion a great guitar for so small a price would be the way to go .DEFINITELY NOT MY LAST Harley benton

The best single cut guitar at a afforable price!
Back in my days, I could never see myself playing an LP shape guitar and this time I wanted to give it a go. My mind was changed when I took this guitar right out of the box and played it for 2 days on a 75-watt Line6 Spider III.
Pros: I was stunned by how good the setup was right out of the box and the only thing I needed to do to the guitar was to tune it! The Tesla Pickups were really new brand for me and found myself liking them. I played rock, punk, and metal with them, and sounded great. This guitar's steel frets are nice and have no scratchy feel when bending or vibrating the notes. The weight of the guitar is much lighter than a Les Pual for me which is a big plus. No fret sprouts found.
Cons: I wish the guitar had the option to coil split (personal preference)
In conclusion, you are getting a solid guitar for this awesome price, period. In addition, I also got the Thomann Elite Case SC Snake for this model and it fits just fine.
Harley Benton, I am your biggest fan now. <3

worlds beyond what i was expecting.
the finish is striking out of the box. seriously blew me away. so far i've only ever had to tune it the once. so it stays in tune. no real noticeable blemishes, or issues. my favorite part is the neck. i love the cut away on the back of the neck for higher fret access. i dont know a whole lot about tesla pickups, but they absolutely do their job. will buy again.
