HBO-850 Classic Blue : Great roundback guitar, comes rough but with a little effort can be made much better...

First of all, let me say that this guitar is absolutely good for the price it costs since it has a lot of good characteristics:

1. it is really beautiful and catchy

2. it is very confortable and easy to play

3. it has a good sound and good amplification system

4. it is light and really ergonomic to embrace.

Anyway, it came with some drawback:

1. old strings, to be changed

2. the frets had no filed edges

3. a lot of dust in the body

4. the action was too low, with some strings whipping on the neck.

In other words, it needs a good work of set-up: i put off the strings, polished its neck with oil and wood polishers, take an iron file and with a bit of patience scraped the frets... finally I rise up the action and... there it is! A good instrument to be played even in live situations, easy and beautiful to play!
