HBO-850 Blue : Best electroacoustic I could find for this price

4 years ago

I understand the design isn't for everyone, but I really like it. The round back makes it a bit awkward to play sitting as it slips off from your leg if your posture isn't correct, but on the other hand that forces you to play with correct posture. There was rattling when playing the D string, turns out the springs in the battery compartment resonate with it. Simple fix by putting a bit of foam between them. doesn't stop the battery from working.

Pros:

-Great neck profile

-Great tone both plugged and unplugged

-Interesting design

-can't lose your picks in it

Cons:

-slips from your leg sometimes

-rattling from battery compartment(easy to fix)
