Custom Line King-CE NT : Absolutely love this guitar

I bought this guitar at the same time as another HB that I like a lot, the CLA-15M. Its an amazing guitar, but the King beats it out. AND it came with crappy corroded strings, so I think that the sound will even get better with newer strings.

This guitar is beautiful...I can't find a single blemish. Tuners hold tune very well and the intonation was basically perfect. Other than the aforementioned strings, which were cleaned immediately, this thing came out of the box ready to go. The built in electronics were not the selling point for me, but the tuner is just OK. I have not plugged it in yet, so no comment there. Frets, and all other aspects of the guitar are basically perfect. AND the big surprise for me, i saw other reviews where they mentioned high action...not so with the one I got. It literally could not be any better. It plays as good or better than any guitar I have ever owned (including Gibsons, Martins, Fenders, etc.)

As others have mentioned the sound of this guitar is meant for strumming and I concur, if you pick, the sound wont come through as well as some other guitars that have more focus in the mid and high ranges, but when you strum, it booms. Strumming with this guitar is an absolute joy.

This is my third HB guitar and wont be my last. For what I do (playing on my couch) there is nothing better that can find at the moment than what they are making. If you are a professional...perhaps there is some slight differentiation between these guitars and the original, higher priced ones, but for me these guitars are amazing for the price.
