HB-35Plus Lemon : I Love This Guitar

I am by no means an expert luthier, nor am I the most gifted of players, I just love to play the guitar. I was always wanting an ES335/GS335, but could never justify spending the cash, then I saw a review of the HB35Plus on YouTube and decided to give it a shot. I was blown away. I could find very little if really anything wrong in the finish or build quality. The set up was near perfect for my playing, I made a slight adjustment to the intonation on the third string at the bridge and that was it.

I love the Roswell pickups. The bridge can be solid and snappy depending on the setting for the coil split, and it has a nice clean P90 sound when split, and then usual Humbucker growl when pushed. Great for Humble Pie style blues licks and reaching for those Chuck Berry driven leads. The neck pick u is great for rhythm playing and finger picking around leads when combined with the bridge. I like to split the bridge and leave the neck, it's a nice sound. The neck does get muddy if you push it too hard, and for that I am considering changing it for standard Gibson Humbucker or Burst Bucker.

It came out of the box ready to play and sounds great. If you're looking for a well-priced and well-built instrument in the vein of an Epiphone or low-end Gibson this is the way to go. I have a ES339 and thinking it's time to send off to consignment since I got the HB35Plus. You can't go wrong with this instrument.
