DC-Junior FAT Faded Cherry : DC Junior FAT

Guitar arrived when it was supposed to but with a very large split in the outer box. fortunately the inner box was unharmed.

Pro's

Nicely made body and a very good neck finish with no sharp frets, tuners are good and the neck profile is fatter than my HB SC I have.

Where these guitars win is with the Rosewell pickups, they are very responsive and the tone/volume pots have a good ramp which allows lot's of variation tonally, the comfortable neck makes the instrument very playable and the light weight won't break your back.

Cons

The control knobs are useless on the push/pull pot as you cant grip them.

On arrival I found the action a little high so had to use a lot of force on the bridge adjusting screws to lower it, additionally the adjustment is now at it's lowest setting which is a little worrying for any future neck movement.

Think there is a production fault on HBs routing as one of the retaining screws on the control cavity plate is breaking into the side of the control cavity. (same fault on my HB SC)

A terrific guitar that could be made perfect with a couple of improvements by HB (especially the bridge height issue)
