I've been trying to make this guitar playable with my busy schedule, but after over a year, I'm confident that I shouldn't have bought this product.
First, when I received this guitar, the output jack plug socket was missing and I had to find it in the box and screw it in place on my own, and after a year of trying to get it work, I realized the frets are so uneven that I can't fix it on my own and have to pay a luthier about half of what this guitar cost me to fix that. I haven't had time to play this guitar long enough to find it out. I would have returned it from Canada if I knew how bad this guitar is.
Getting a second-hand guitar would've caused me less trouble for sure.
The tone is great considering the price, but I should've paid more attention to people saying HB has no quality control.
