Beware The FRET Edges! FRET Levels! Update -21 DEC 2020

ViC Gilmore 26.05.2020

Quality control must not exist on the cheaper HB range. Buy it by all means but have your Files, Straight Edge, Fret Rocker & Allen Key at the ready. I've sorted it but shouldn't have too! The fret ends are really a cause for concern. They are razor sharp and should be gradually sanded with 320, 800, 1500 grit paper/files at the very least. If you took this of a Music Shop wall you wouldn't buy it. It's just not finished for any player beginner or pro. This is the second one i've bought as the guitar is great for the money. The last one I turned into Left-Handed with a NUT & SADDLE for someone. The frets were as bad as the previous one so a lot of work on them again. It's great now i've sorted it. It's gone to a good home as a gift. Just keep all this in mind and do the work yourself or ask around. Have it! ViC

Cheap and reasonably cheerful

Eamondo 26.01.2023

My last guitar purchase was the GS Mini which really surprised me. My daughter wanted something to learn on so I came across this one and decided to give it a try - at this price what could go wrong?
Well, a few things.
Out of the box this guitar tunes up fine, the finish is okay and it sounds pretty good, but it's not without its issues. The main problem is the fret edges - they're ridiculously bad and will need sanding down. The machine heads are pretty nasty and noisy, but that said, so far I haven't had any major tuning issues. I was more than a little amused to find a self-adhesive pick guard in the box. The guitar will need a lot of adjustments though, so if you're a novice it might be worth spending a little more on something a little better quality. The difference in quality between this guitar and the HB GS Mini is huge for the sake of forty bucks, plus you get a gig bag with the Mini.

Good guitar for it's price

Ruslan Tsulin 05.08.2022

The main thing is that this guitar sounds and sounds really great for it's price! I didn't expect such sound for < 100$ instrument.
Guitar is comfortable to play, but there is something with tuners plastic quality - there are some sharpness, but I think this is very minor issue, and actually the only one issue I found.
I can say that it's a good option for beginners or for those who's main guitar is far away and cheap alternative is needed.

Preinstalled strings are surprisingly durable. I'm not playing often, but they still sound good after several months, so Martin set is waiting for it's time.
