You guys come a LOOOOONG WAY with the quality of your guitars. I have bought several of them and I cannot help but notice the improvements done to them. This latest purchase of a HB SC Custom ll is proof of this, the instrument is flawless, perfect in every sense of the word. It sounds and plays as good as a Gibson or Epiphone LP at a fraction of the cost. The hard case was beautiful and impecable. I compared it to two other similar guitar cases that I purchased at Walmart for my Harley Bentons at double the price and with poor quality. Thanks Thomann, keep on doing a good job and I,ll keep on being a faithful customer.
