Great Guitar For any Price!

ksymes86 18.02.2026

The initial guitar I ordered arrived with a fault, I spoke to the team at Thomann and they were really helpful and arranged for a replacement to be issued, great, efficient service.

The new guitar arrived a few days ago and it as absolutely brilliant. It needed a very slight set up adjustment out of the box but this is to be expected as the guitar travelled all the way here to the UK. It plays really well, the neck is one of the best I've played, incredible tuning stability and the Babicz bridge is a lot of fun. I honestly don't understand how they can produce such a quality guitar at this price point. I own/have owned several "higher" end guitars and this feels right at home with them. This won't be my last HB and I would definitely use Thomann again.

Incredible value guitar

tiagoramalhais2 21.03.2026

I have over 25 guitars ranging from 70-3000€, this guitar for specs and finish quality would still be good value if it cost 1000€, everything about it is just perfect, the finish, fret job, hardware, setup all near perfect, sounds like a good strat, not the best sounding strat i have but i have strats that cost 3/4/5x as much and don't sound as good . I have other Harley Benton guitars that are also good value but this one is some miles ahead, really impressed.

A couple notes:
.The Neck is a bit thicker than your average Fender strat, seems to me to have more shoulder ( a D shape vs the fender C shape), if that's a problem for you be aware, but for the price it costs i would buy it anyway and sand it down to my liking.
.I was weary of the Babicz tremolo, some people reported issues with palm-muting on the Babicz trem saddles, the saddles sit higher that regular block saddles so you have to adjust a bit, i do a lot of palm mutting even on the high strings and i quickly naturally adjusted after some minutes, it's fine at least for me, if you have issues you can buy aftermarket saddles to replace the Babicz ones (it will work since the rest of the trem is very generic and will work with regular saddles).

Great guitar!

Andy I 07.02.2026

Very pleased with this. All good, no flaws and photos dont do this justice. It really is a great looker. Playability is superb and the sound is crystal clear. Outstanding feature for me is the neck, so easy to play and the satin neck is a bonus. Having had a couple of ST type guitars made in Japan and USA I rate this as equal but it has it's own personality, so not a clone.

Crazy value

Guitar Geeza 22.02.2026

Bought this guitar a week ago, gigged it last night in a hot sweaty club. Absolutely stayed in tune and didn’t miss a beat. Crazy value for money, arrived well packaged and was immaculate.
Gave pickups 4 out of 5, could be a bit more articulate, couple of scratchy frets, no biggie. The neck profile is chunky D, which was a shock as I have a Schecter C1-SLS Elite. After a couple of hours, of playing soon got used to it.

If you’re looking for a good looking guitar with a solid trem and like value for money, this is unbeatable
