Great blues playing . Love the color of the guitar with maple neck. Can’t beat the price. If you combine shipment by buying 2 or 3 guitars at a time then shipping works out relatively cheap even today. Just bought this guitar and looking forward to playing it.
So many replace their pickups on this the cheapest HB model but you get some pristine sounds. May I ask what effects or amp you use? Sound a little compressed? Great playing once again Kim!
You've got it right! That's exactly what I do! Nor meaning, that I don't use a pick once in a while, every now and then, but not very often! Thanks for watching my channel! :)
@@kiivje, Thanks! I use Jackman lunchbox and Harley Benton cabinet. The pedals i mostly use are the SkyVerb and Tube Screamer. Less is more so to say, clean is the best with a sparkle of reverb. 😀
HB should pay you for selling this guitar but I have the feeling you don't really care about the money. But should I buy one Kim? I have an 80s Japanese fender tele which was left in a damp garage when I dumped it in 1993 in soggy old England out of frustration that I couldn't play, even though I was in a band. Now I can play and I bought new parts but just can't wire it up. So should I give it to guitar repair shop for fixing or buy an HB?
Hi Colin! Well I don't know which shape your guitar is in, but 40 years on stage makes its mark. But if you think youøve got a good guitar, then maybe you need a 2nd one! This one is cheap, and I got the Fender too, and I don't think there's so much of a difference. I use my HB on stage too! Perfect 2nd choice! Thanks for watching my channel! :) Come back!
Thanks for watching. THis guitar knocked me out of my shoes. I can't find anything bad. It looks and feels like the real thing, and I got the real thing too! For this price it's incredible how much you get. Yes it is indeed very playable, no doubt the best beginner guitar you can get!
@@kiivje OK. I just bought the same model. 'Out of the box playable' means just that. I've been spoiled with Fenders, just get on and do it, note to oneself. Being pedantic about pick ups, pots, tuning heads is stupid. I just want something I can play. Stay safe. x
I got mine barely used on sunday. The sound is pretty rubbish, but this guitar is really well built, so as a mod platform it's a really great beginner's guitar, if you are a beginner guitar modder. If you can live with the sound, a beginning player it's also great. Or get some good mid-priced pus, like Toneriders, and you're good to go. The tuners aren't that bad, the nur is not that bad. The frets have to get polished. Not to forget, your playing is great.
Exactly, good beginner guitar, but I must ad, the price is rediculous low for the quality you get. I still love playing it, and I like the color too! Thanks for your kindness! Have a nice one! :)
Something tells me it's all about the processing for the sound because Kim just knocked it out of the park and he sounded as good as anyone else playing a $2500 Fender Tele. ... and of course the fabulous skill level of the player ... Kim ...

I agree!
ive got the same one and its coooooooool
Yes, it's a good guitar!
where is the background beat from love it
Thanks mate! I made that myself! Thanks for watching! :)
Looks like your playing with a pick sometimes but then it disappears. Are you using your index fingernail for downstrokes when strumming?
You've got it right! That's exactly what I do! Nor meaning, that I don't use a pick once in a while, every now and then, but not very often! Thanks for watching my channel! :)
We have the TE-30, great guitar, bought it for eventual moding, but why fix something that's not broke, plays great the way it is!
I totally agree! Thanks for watching my channel! :)
Nice! Like it a lot.
What amp or pedal do you use?
Thanks Chris! Normally I use only Fender amps. Hot Rod or Twin Reverb! And you? Thanks for watching my channel! :)
@@kiivje, Thanks!

@@kiivje Thanks Kim. You gave me the answer I wanted! I'm getting one.
what's the general feel of the guitar like, does it feel like a professional instrument to hold and play or a toy like a lot of cheap guitars?
Thanks for your question. Yes, it feels like the real thing! I wouldn't mind using it for a gig, all though I play the real thing!
@@kiivje Thanks for your reply, one other question I forgot to ask, does it stay in tune ok?
Looks nice. What’s the playability like especially with such a flat 14” radius?

No mods?
Nope!

playing sounds great........but squashed......not a big fan of compression.....i'm sure you sound awesome live .....just subscribed
You're right too much and too little you know! I'm still learning!
