HB-35Plus Cherry : Amazing ! Way more expensive brands should be ashamed

I picked up this guitar as an alternative to my Gibson 335 to be used in “less desirable” situations. I didn’t expect much due to the price but thought I would roll the dice on it.

I was stunned !

The quality of this thing for the price is on another level, I actually prefer the sound of this to my Gibson’s for recording (I know that’s subjective) and I also just find my self picking this up all the time to noodle with.

I own quite a lot of guitars, several Gibson’s and PRS(USA) and a few American Strats. For me this guitar can hold its own with those big brands.

Obviously some of the fine details and the overall finish are not as refined as a 5k PRS but you have to be out of your mind or rich to take a 5k PRS to a crappy back street London club where it’s likely to get beer (or worse) thrown all over it. Think how many Harley Bentons you could get through until you reach 5K hahaha.

The only thing I would recommend to anyone getting one of these is give it a quick fret job, just level off the frets a bit then re-crown and polish, give the edges a smooth as well while your at it. After that if you played this blindfold you would struggle to tell the difference between this and a Gibson. Also to be honest I have had to give the same treatment to a couple of brand new Gibson les Paul’s as well so it’s not like their quality control is perfect.

Do it !

Buy it now !

You won’t regret it.
