Post what you are thinking at this very moment

The only real complaint is there's a fair amount of dust tyle stuff under the finish. You can't see most of it, but can feel it. I hit the back and neck with some 4000 grit sanding pads, and it smooth now. The fretboard is listed as ebony. Nice and dark, tight grain. Frets are a normal polish. Ill polish them some more today when I change strings. The fret edges are surprisingly good. The action from 7th fret up was a tad higher than I like, so I dropped the bridge. Its fine now though the bridge is all the way down now. The neck relief is normal. Not sure I like the pickup, but I've never had a p90, so ill reserve judgment until I've played it some more. It actually has a long neck tenon. Go figure. Overall, its out of the box condition was much better than the couple of gibson DC jr I played in GC and SA. Hranted, this is the only HB I've held, but if the other products are similar, I don't hesitate recommend them. Granted, a major brand will always be worth more, but $250 vs $1000?

The cool thing about decent cheap guitars is that you don't feel the least bit guilty spending a little more to upgrade the components. With expensive guitars, they're supposed to be that way, and if you don't like it, then why the hell did you fork out the cash for it to begin with? If it's an expensive guitar I'm gonna need to play it through an amp and run it through its paces before I open up my wallet. I have to be sure that I love it from the get-go. But if it's a cheap guitar, I can buy it online without a second thought. Unless the neck sucks, then I can deal with the issues after I find out what they are when I receive it.

My thoughts exactly. I wanted a DC jr type guitar, to see if I like it, but didn't want to spend Gibson money, so started looking around the budget guitar world. HB had overall great reviews. I was going to buy the regular HB DC jr, then they came out with the "fat" its supposed to have a thicjer neck, and ebony fretboard. I havent put my calipers on the neck yet, but it feels great to me. I don't like the tone pot ( its a push pull) and turns too easily. But that stuff, like you mentioned is easily changed. At the dentist today. Will fart around with it later

you shouldnt have to bottom out the bridge to balance the sumbich - sometimes if the truss is too loose, people wind up going after the bridge. especially if you're talking 7th fret, it makes me think that your truss is likely a little more loose than it should be.

Checked the neck with a stewmac tool (with fret cutouts) seemed pretty normal, about how I have my other necks setup with a slight bend. The action wasn't real high, just a tad higher than i like. Looking at the angles, if it was a bolt on, I'd put a neck shim in. I think it's just the bridge. Its kinda like a stopbar combined with a nashville tunomatic. Its thick.

ah, gotcha...I usually go for dead flat and as close to the frets as possible without buzz!

Are there any planetary moons visible to the naked eye?

Nope. But I think a pair of binoculars can

Yeah, Earth's.

I know you can with binoculars, but this morning in the eastern sky there was either a planet or a star that had a much smaller and much fainter body to the upper right of it. If there's no moons visible to the naked eye, then it must have been a farther distant star.

Yeah, Earth's.

When I graduated from college, I swore up and down that I would never eat another one of those microwaveable TV dinners again. I should have kept that promise. I can't get the salt taste out of my mouth. How the hell did I survive on this garbage?

if you have sex with a woman who used to be a man but they didn't tell you they were a man, is that rape?
