I had a real HB back in the early '70s. Frankly was not impressed with it. Wasn't very loud and didn't like the short scale. Ended up selling it. There are a lot better guitars out there for the money than you would pay for a HB IMO.
Why/How in the fuck does this inane thread keep coming back to life???
Trolls (notice 1 post each) bump it, and then other legitimate members feed into it.
