TE-52 NA Vintage Series : Pro quality for so little cost!

I've spent decades earning a living playing guitar. I wasn't interested in buying any more guitars until I came across these (quite late it seems). I had read reviews for the TE-52 (and other HB guitars) before deciding to take a look for myself. I'm sure all the finer details have been covered by others already. I paid £129 for mine and they have been increasing in price with the changes to currency and supply chains due to the current ongoing problems of the pandemic. Even so I think the guitar is an excellent buy. I really didn't expect it to be as good, but it's a well finished guitar. The pickups are fine for me and I wouldn't change them. Guitarists often have their own unshakeable opinion on pickups and some would hear cheap just because the guitar is cheap. I would swap these out just like I have on other guitars but they actually sound great. The neck is superb - I love the satin finish and the fret job is good... no sharp ends etc. They were a little rough on the surface but just playing it for a while seemed to smooth them out I was gonna rub them down but I played the thing for hours & hours - couldn't put it down so they eventually just felt smooth. I did adjust the action (truss rod & bridge). I'd expect to do that on any guitar out of the box. It plays so well and sounds great - that is really all I want from any guitar (it does look really nice as well though lol). I don't care what's on the headstock but the fact that it's not an expensive brand makes me feel like I'm getting an incredible deal cos I've played "name" guitars that weren't as good as this. One minor issue - the tuners are stiff but work. I have since bought 2 other HB guitars (B-Stock) and they were more expensive but the tuners were better (Grovers on one). I will be buying more HBs just because they are capturing classic guitar types I'd like to own - they do it well and they do it for unbelievably low cost. I would never consider buying the originals at what seems to be extremely inflated prices now I've played these.
