HBO-850 Classic Natural : Excellent for the price, but...

This is very well made and I think it sounds pretty good too. It has a neck that, as an electric guitar player with some arthritis, I find very comfortable. It's like an oversized strat neck, sort of. I like it.

The guitar needed some work to be made to play nicely, and as I do guitar setups that isn't a problem for me. But anyone buying one should be aware of this. Mostly it was OK...good construction and finish, tuners and piezo electrics worked...but there were some very rough fret ends and, although the fretboard is radiused, they put a flat nut and bridge on it like a conventional nylon string guitar so the outside strings were very high. I did some filing and polishing to curve them to the radius, and now it plays great...but it shouldn't have been necessary to do, especially as someone could do it poorly and damage their guitar.
