Another great HB guitar
This is my 3rd HB electric guitar, following my Fusion-T, & my SC-550 Gotoh.
It’s my first HB with a trem (& currently my only working guitar with a trem), my first with a maple fingerboard, & first with 24 frets.
It was a conscious decision to not go for a hard-tail, though I did have some reservations; mostly regarding tuning stability, & hardware quality.
I need not have worried; all is good.
Better than good.
The build quality is excellent; the finish immaculate. However, a word of note: the guitar is described as being blue, & it is. Less ‘grey’ than the photos suggest.
It’s not heavy. Certainly not as weighty as my Fusion-T, but perhaps not quite as light as my SC-550.
I’m a little confused by the micro-switch. The description states it acts as a coil split, but it actually alters the tone quality of all three pick-ups (which is no bad thing).
It’s lovely to play.
The neck is great.
I can see no defects anywhere.
Factor in those stainless steel frets, locking tuners, the roasted maple neck, & all-in-all, it’s a great guitar for the money.
Update: I contacted Thomann customer services regarding the micro-switch, & they kingly responded, including a handy diagram of how it works.
Truthfully, it does way more than just being a coil split, & does indeed impact all the pickups, creating new combinations when using in conjunction with the 5-way toggle. Bonus!
