Better than you think?!
Roblud 04.12.2022
First thing first, it looks like a million bucks.. Really pretty and will surely turn an eye wherever you take it!
Sound wise it sounds like a parlour, a good one! The solid top is reallynice and you can feel the punch when you dig in.
Action is ok, a little high for my tasting..
Frets are smooth with no issues.
Overall an great guitar who wants to be played, and you play it!

I cannot rate this guitar highly enough
Salty Joe 23.01.2025
I bought this as a second guitar for work. I use a Martin Dreadnought and an Ortega Electro Classical guitar, but frenetic playing causes me to bust a string or three on the Martin, generally while playing balls out Irish trad with my mad arsed fiddle playing partner.
Anyway, I needed something to grab when the inevitable ping happens. I wanted something with its own distinct sound and quirky looks.
The HB delivers in spades. Two day after delivery, I played it for the entire three hour gig. It has impeccable tuning stability. I adore the tone, the online samples do it a grave injustice. It's so much better, both acoustically and through a PA, than even Thomann suggests. I can't describe it, but it's a fresh and unapologetic tone, I love it. Action is fine. I had to cut my nails a bit as neck width is a touch narrower than I like, but a week later I'm used to it. Looks wise it is an absolute stunner. The parlour body, slotted headstock and elongated dot markers give it a bit of quirkyness. Build quality is outrageously good for a guitar twice the price. It has become my favourite steel strung guitar overnight. I genuinely can't imagine anyone being disappointed with one of these.

Excellent guitar , beautifully made.
Bob Street 21.10.2022
The only criticism I can say is the the fret ends were VERY slightly rough, easily rectified with a worn paper nail file ! Beautiful sound and playability, what can I say !

What a beautiful little guitar!
Kaiwolf 17.01.2023
So glad I decided to buy this little gem, the materials used are right up there with the more popular badges. My little baby sings and I couldn't be happier with my purchase.

Amazing beginner guitar
heliosight 02.08.2023
It is very well built parlour guitar. Intonation is good, action is set up low from the box additional bonus is D'Addario strings. It checks all the marks: 12th fret, pickup/tuner, solid top. Assembly quality and fretwork is amazing for the guitar of this class.

My favorite guitar
Dannnnny 16.08.2023
I have some expensive guitars however this cheap little parlor guitar is my favorite. I tune down a step and the action is great, no sharp frets, playablility is amazing, and the pick up sounds phenominal. I would Definetely recommend and it plays better than guitars that are triple its price.

No regrets so far!
Guitarq 12.03.2024
This one almost came perfect straight out of the box! It looks amazing, feels amazing and the frets were a tiny bit sharp, but nothing that can't be fixed in a couple of minutes!
