CLF-100E : A bluesy HB CLF-100E parlor guitar

The workmanship of the guitar is excellent. There are no negative points to mention anywhere. The top nut and bridge nut are made of bone. The fingerboard and bridge are made of beautifully flamed laurel. The guitar has a bluesy sound with a clear high and a pronounced midrange. The solid Sitka spruce top has a beautiful abalone rosette and produces a defined, full sound with a lot of gain in the direction of the listener through the 8.5 cm sound hole.

Despite the smaller dimensions typical of a parlor guitar, it feels very mature.

All this is supported by a built-in preamplifier with 3-band EQ, volume, tuner and phase switch which reproduces a true-to-life sound (no nasal sound).

The headstock with abalone branding and HB insignia is perfectly mounted on the pleasant-to-the-touch Nyatoh neck with short scale.

Conclusion: The guitar is definitely recommended to play real blues.
