Side note: I've heard good things about the HB guitars, but it sounds like you had a bit of a mod to make it playable. Did you review it somewhere?

I'm really digging that easy gait. A nice, relaxed stroll that still has some grit and girth to it. Very enjoyable listen.

I saw a couple of reviews on uTube, mostly good and a few people on here had only good things to say about HB. My own opinion would be that they are bargain basement price for a reason. You do in a sense get what you pay for. Mine needed a good set up, it needed the frets finished off properly, (sharp edges, needed levelling and a few were not seated properly). Tuning pegs were awful. Bridge needed replacing. So where they save on price, for me anyway there was real evidence of where they cut back.

In saying this when you put it against a top end Gibson for example... it is still good value, but you could well need to spend the original price of the guitar again in order to make it play properly. If I was to go back in time I would more than likely pay a bit more (double maybe) in order to get a guitar with a higher chance of being finished properly.
