Awesome bones🤘

Murder 06.01.2022

I didn’t expect this to be great but dude I pulled it out the box and it was nice and shiny, almost in tune and had a good weight. Plugged it into my Orange and my pedal board and played King Diamond Welcome Home. Sounds good, the pickups actually surpassed all expectations, I feel bad I’m cutting them! The neck is awesome, it’s one of those make you want to learn necks (this is one of those “no neck is the same because wood is never the same” things.
I bought 2 because my singer wants to learn and we are old BCR fans and users. The two guitars are vastly different in good ways, my singer’s guitar is heavier and doesn’t quite sound the same. This is perfect for a beginner if they want METAL! Can’t find anything bad and Thomann customer service is awesome!

First HB received

JerryArzaga 03.08.2021

This is my second HB guitar bought, but first received, still waiting for the first one.
As expected it is a guitar configured for metal playing, it sounds really hard, tried clean but not the best sound because of its high outcome pick ups, I am an amateur player and it is very enough for me, very nice finished and looks great in my living room among my other guitars and piano, I adjusted height of strings and it will make me adjust octaves, but they were fine out of the box, happy with my new guitar, sounds and look terrific!!!
Shipping only took 14 calendar days to Mexico.

Great base for custom project!

Nekroo 18.10.2020

I bought this guitar knowing the first thing I will do is upgrading it.
Straight out of the box the guitar was not sounding great and playing on it was not that comfortable. But! After:
- changing the strings
- adjusting trussrod
- adjusting string height on bridge
- adjusting intonation on bridge
It sounded very well and the string action was okay!

I will change the keys, pots, nut and bridge so I can only say of the base of this guitar - neck and body is pretty great.

CONS:
- Guitar was not packed very safely and one of the 'horns' of the body was messed up in delivery - it's only about 1 cm of the lacquer though in the back so not a big deal,
- One of the tunning keys is little bit rusty in few places, but I will replace it nonetheless.

Pretty good

DwayneW 27.03.2022

This guitar is actually not bad at all. The frets needed a full level and crown but I was expecting that for the price. The stock pickups actually sound really decent, lacking in the low end but not bad. My main issue was the body on mine has a lot of uneven bevels. It looks like the body wasn't prepped before paint. Overall, I'd recommend it if you are planning on modding it.
