So I’ve already decided on my amp being the Mustang LT25
But for my guitar I thought of getting the Epiphone slash AFD Special II Les Paul guitar outfit
Should I get it?

#

Look at a Harley Benton sc-450

#

330 is overpriced for an epi lp special 2

iron needle Dec 17, 2025, 4:27 PM

#

it’s a guitar outfit so bag and other accessories included too

#

But I’ll check it out

tawdry relic Dec 17, 2025, 4:28 PM

#

The stuff u will get with it won’t be to good

#

Other than guitar and amp u only need a cable and some picks

#

Then u can get a strap ig u want

#

The mustang has a built in tuner so u don’t necessarily need one

#

tawdry relic Other than guitar and amp u only need a cable and some picks

Amp excluded not the kit with amp

#

The kit without amp

#

But yeah the Harley Benton looks good

tawdry relic Dec 17, 2025, 4:29 PM

#

Yea it still isn’t worth it

#

It is 330

iron needle Dec 17, 2025, 4:29 PM

#

Is the hardware good

tawdry relic Dec 17, 2025, 4:29 PM

#

Yea

#

It is better then then the special

#

It also has coil split

iron needle Dec 17, 2025, 4:30 PM

#

wtf is a coil split

tawdry relic Dec 17, 2025, 4:31 PM

#

Humbuckers r essentially 2 single coils

#

Coil split turns one of them off

#

It gives u more tonal options

#

The sc does both the lp and tele sound

#

Tele is pretty much just a single coil lp

iron needle Dec 17, 2025, 4:31 PM

#

Ohhhhh

#

That’s tuff

tawdry relic Dec 17, 2025, 4:32 PM

#

This is my 450 it’s had a lot of play time over the past 6 ish months of owning it

iron needle Dec 17, 2025, 4:33 PM

#

If they’re available where I live I’ll probably get one

tawdry relic Dec 17, 2025, 4:33 PM

#

Are u in the us

iron needle Dec 17, 2025, 4:34 PM

#

Middle East Oman specifically

tawdry relic Dec 17, 2025, 4:37 PM

#

I see abonch of 550s on Thoman which is where u would have to order from

#

The 550 has abit better of components but not coil split

#

I would also recomend that

iron needle Dec 17, 2025, 4:38 PM

#

I see I’ll check that out too

Maybe I’ll ask a shop to order an SC450 if possible

#

A shop usually won’t order stuff if they don’t stock thag brand

#

All b stock means is it will have slight imperfections or scratches but it is all cosmetic everywhere still functions properly

#

It comes at a discount bc of that

iron needle Dec 17, 2025, 4:41 PM

#

I probably won’t get the B stock

#

I’ll just probably go for the normal one

#

But I did also find this Strat

#

So I was thinking about getting this one too

tawdry relic Dec 17, 2025, 4:56 PM

#

I don’t trust that listing

#

It says fender afinity telecaster

#

That is a squire afinity HH strat

iron needle Dec 17, 2025, 5:27 PM

#

It’s a mistake in the listing

#

It’s a Strat

#

And it is squier

tawdry relic Dec 17, 2025, 5:30 PM

#

I would probably go w the HB over the squire

#

The squire isn’t bad but I like what the HB offers more
