Fantastic beginner's guitar!

Bought for my son as his first electric, plays and sounds great, got a feeling I'll be playing it more than him!

My friend was very pleased

This is a good choice for guitarists looking for an affordable yet quality instrument. This model offers versatility and playing comfort. Sound versatility: With the combination of one humbucker and two single coils, the guitar offers a wide range of sounds suitable for different musical genres. The guitar has a comfortable fingerboard profile and lightweight construction, making it ideal for extended playing or learning. Despite its affordable price, the guitar is made with an attention to detail and quality not often found in this price segment. The satin black colour and classic design make this guitar visually appealing. In addition to the above I would like to say that I picked this guitar up as a gift for a friend of mine who has been wanting to start learning the guitar for a long time, and he was very pleased.

Great player for the price

I love the look of this thing and it honestly plays as good as similar styles that cast 2 to 3 times as much. After a quick setup this thing plays great and I have no complaints about the quality and electronics.

Well… they can’t all be show-stoppers

I own around 15 HBs, and this one ended up being nowhere near the quality, fit & finish of every other HB I’ve received. It barely stays in tune just sitting there (let alone playing it), and the fret ends are so poorly finished that you can literally cut your fingers on them. This is a guitar you’d give a middle schooler to start on, otherwise it’s near worthless. It was bound to happen eventually though - ever other HB I’ve bought was outstanding

Kid's First Electric Guitar, great choice

I don't play guitar, I play Banjo so I bought this for my daughter after looking over similarly priced second hand guitars. Unimpressed with the condition of them I started looking and was recommended HB guitars. Having previously played acoustic and knowing she wanted a Strat style I went through the various reviews and this came top as a good guitar for the price. Arrived well packaged (double boxed) and took 4 working days from Germany (I'm UK based). Postage was a very reasonable £10. For £105 total I couldn't have bought a decent condition 2nd hand from a "big" manufacturer. After unpacking I had some help setting it up. Other than dropping the action slightly it didn't need any work. The finish is excellent, looks and feels good. It has been looked at by a workmate (2 LPs amoung other guitars) and her guitar teacher they're impressed with it. Teacher is impressed enough he's considering getting a similar one for pupils. Overall I think a Good Buy for anyone wanting a guitar that is good value and plays well for a new-ish player.

It looks amazing

Great look, it could pass for a much more expensive guitar.... But when I tried to lower the action, I didn't realise that so many frets would buzz.... So, it looks like I'm going to be practicing how to level a fretboard.... I watched a lot of reviews on YouTube, but none of them had a fretboard as bad as mine so maybe I just received a bad one...

A perfect cheap electric guitar

I've been playing classical guitar for 3 years, and I wanted to buy a nice but cheap electric guitar. This one blew my mind. The delivery was super quick, and the guitar for it's price just sounds so good. I changed the strings of course to get a better sound out of it but you can definitely get this guitar if you're looking for something cheap but good! Also, get a nice pedal if you want your guitar to sound different
