thank you, great review! it sounds great and you play great too. Yes, it's a beautiful guitar that I also received. but I am learning to play, my first guitar is in dreadnough format and it was too bigfor me, the clp 15-suits me, I changed the strings for extralight! I hope to be able to play well .... and your home studio, great ^^
Nice sound - a bit more pronounced high tones (kinda more "metallic", I should say) than H. B. Travel E, yet, low tones are more defined (which I like very much). Good review, thnx man.
Hello, I see you’re missing part of the H in the HB decal, I’d be interested in removing the whole thing and am wondering how you’ve done that? Thanks :)
Nice review. Could you please tell me the dimension (mm) from high to low E (outside of strings) at both nut and bridge? I am looking for a guitar with slightly wider string spacing than my gs mini to help my fingerpicking ;-) Thanks
It is strung with bronze strings. Some vintage style parlor acoustic guitars have headstocks like that. Anyway the neck is reinforced with a truss rod due to the higher tension in the strings, this is the main difference with a nylon strung guitar.
Did you ever replace the tuners? Im having a hell of a time finding tuners that are an upgrade to the ones on there. Everything i search brings up ones for nylon string guitars
Schaller Hauser Acrylic Emberger GO, tell us how it went if you did the upgrade, there is no one better than schaller at tuners, you will find 100$ schaller tuners on 3000+ guitars Schaller individual Butterbean tuners should work also
I have had one of these since January 2017 as my main, go-to guitar. The action was indeed too high. So I did my measurements and calculated how much to sand off the saddle, marked the saddle with a pencil line, sanded it down in and, after less than 30 minutes' work, now have a guitar with perfect action. I am no handyman - bottom of my class in woodwork - but I found the adjustment easy.
hi from Berlin, i own this guitar 3 years now. neck shape very similar to classic guitar ! no v shape very flat and wide (nut 45mm)...i only use it for blues in open d tunig with bottleneck and a bit fingerwork.
I would still concider an upgrade on those tuners. The stock ones get the job done, but they are definitely not that great. But that's the only place where you get the slightest idea of the price on the instrument!
Tuners not the best. A couple of mine have some play in them, meaning that I turn the knob a little without turning the tuning post. However, when I lubricated the nut-slots with some graphite lubricant, I realised that the tuners weren't to blame for any tuning problems. Now I lubricate the slots once a year or so and it's much better.
Nothing really. I guess it felt a bit awkward because one unconsciously expects them to behave ("feel") like the tuners on their previously played guitar (and that is never the case, since the overall "feel" and the ratio(s) are always different for any two different models of tuners).

Very good demo. Terrific guitar, amazing value for money.
You could make anything sound good. Nice job!
It s a very nice guitar! Great review, thanks!

beautiful playing in the beginning!
You look a bit like Draco Malfoy with that tattoo and hair :D
Nice review and playing!
Thx for the review bud. Just ordered!!! :)

Such a sweet tone!
Thank you! 🤗

according to Thomann it's 45mm.
Sorry for the dumb question but is that guitar steel or nylon strung ? Sounds steel but has the headstock as if it were nylon.

How do you upgrade the tuners tho? Where could I find ones that would fit?
Choby gotoh makes tuners that fit

Coul you please tell me what is the radius of the fretboard ? Thanks
Would like to know too !
I asked Thomann, it's 16",too flat for m'y taste
@@alltrax74 thanks, too flat for me too.
How is the action on this? Buying a parlour guitar for my girlfriend and she can’t deal with high-action guitars. Thanks!

Can you tell me something about the neck shape?
Very often for parlor models is V shaped, and it is hard to play for this!

Hi !
Thanks for the reviex, great playing...
What do you think of the tuners, after a few months ?
I would still concider an upgrade on those tuners. The stock ones get the job done, but they are definitely not that great. But that's the only place where you get the slightest idea of the price on the instrument!

Does it have a V neck...??
It does not have a V neck! My old channel that i can't get access to anymore haha
@@resqgear1918 well that sucks lol
Hey. Great review! I have a question about the neck though. Is it rather thin, like slim taper or more closer to gibson 50's rounded?
Whats wrong with the tuners?
Nothing really. I guess it felt a bit awkward because one unconsciously expects them to behave ("feel") like the tuners on their previously played guitar (and that is never the case, since the overall "feel" and the ratio(s) are always different for any two different models of tuners).
Why do 2 guitars at the same time why would you do that ? Killed it for me
The backing music spoils the review
so called.. 12 fretter...
rkl08551 yeah, good luck playing above the 12th fret 😂
Why, please why can't you just play it acoustic, without looping, great performance but it tell's me absolutely 0 about this guitar.
Just me or does every video demoing this guitar sound terrible?
