R-446 Blood Metallic : Best ratio price/performance

3 years ago

I bought this as my 3rd guitar (I have Acu+ electric already and I did tweak those up by myself, so I knew what I was buying. This is will be my C standard guitar (C G C F A D), I will replace nut, strings & tuners, potentially shield the cavities.

Pros:

+ well packaged

+ audio cable included

+ light guitar

+ no neck dive

+ 24 frets

+ nice sound

+ 5-way switch

+ awesome color, both body and neck

+ thin D neck

+ action is setup nicely on nut (had to adjust bridge) - no need to sand it down for me

Cons:

-tuners are very cheap (its ok for the price but you might want to change them)

-strings are lowcost - acceptable for the price, but I recommend changing them

-oil the neck asap, it came up very dry

-some minor nicks and ticks here and there, but I spoke tu customer rep and I am ok with our deal.

-no shielding (like every guitar under 300 GBP)

-no annoying buzz when connected to AMP (unlike Squiers and other lowcosts do)

I mean for the money, visually and quality wise stunning deal, I definitely might get another HB in the future.
