HB-35Plus Lemon : Great Value for a very playable ,well finished guitar

My Third HB guitar........the others are Tele Variants..........and as expected the overall finish is of a high standard if perhaps a little over heavy on the polyester varnish. The body binding is particularly well fitted.

The neck is true and straight but a little chunky for my personal liking.

A quick set up and it was playing well.

The Roswell pick ups are perfectly fine considering the purchase price of this instrument but I think the labels saying that they are coil tapped is possibly incorrect. In single coil mode thet are quite noisy which suggests to me splits not taps. Its possible to get some very useable jazz tones and nice edgy blues tones.

If this guitar is from the new Vietnamese supplier then there appears to be no change to the quality of the finished article and new buyers should have no cause for concern.

Overall, not my favourite of my three HBs but a very useable instrument at a very good value price.
