HB-35Plus Cherry : Good for the money if you want hollow tone

The guitar is well built and paint job is superb! Its a good looking guitar!

The pickguard is poorly cut! The tuners could be better but they do the job.

Bridge and tail piece are fine! Nut is well slotted.

Tone and Volume pots work well and the push-pull is working smoothly. 3 way toggle is functioning well.

My guitar weighs 3,6kg and feels much lighter than that. Perfectly balanced when on shoulder or on the knee. Its not bottom heavy at all. One can play this without getting tired.

The pickups sound awesome in humbucker mode but not so special in single coil mode. The single coil mode sounds to me almost same as humbucker mode but with less volume. That said the humbucker mode rocks the blues all right!

The flame top on my exemplar is visdible. I know of folks receiving tops with not so much flame but mine sure has it and it looks great. Came set up very well but frets need polishing!
