Had been looking for a steel acoustic for ages, tried MANY, and had given up in preference for a classical as the wide neck suited my sausage fingers! Then came across this and thought I'd give HB a punt after hearing good things, only £244 and 30 day return policy, nothing to lose. On arrival looked promising but action high, so took it to my local guitar tech. He set it up and now feels and plays great, he was gobsmacked by the build quality etc. for the money, I am delighted with it and think I would be even if it had cost twice as much, possibly 3 times as much!
