TE-20HH SBK Standard Series : Better than expected

At the price point I was expecting some areas to be somewhat disappointing as I once had a very low cost guitar that had quite a few issues. But the TE20 HH SBK that I received had only a couple of issues.

The action was a little high on the low E string and the intonation was off on the same string. I adjusted the action and replaced the strings after which I adjusted the intonation. Fortunately the only string that needed attention was the low E string as the other strings were spot on. But those were the only issues that needed to be attended.

The fit and finish of the guitar is actually very good. The neck and frets are very nice with no fret sprout or roughness on the frets. The neck joint is very tight and strong. The finish of the SBK is also very nice and I kind of look forward to seeing how it ages with playing it over the coming years. It will be cool to create my own patina to the guitar.
