I'll be very curious to hear what you think of it. I am very tempted to buy one, one of the double bounds. It either that or one of the new squier affinity telecasters, with the belly cut. The HB looks much better value, with the alnico pickups. Good luck, hope you get a good one.

That's not very reassuring, is it?

Hi there I am in your same position. I am new here and I am getting my first HB St-62 VW and never seen one before. I am all ready to place my order, all of the goodies are in basket, and maybe I'll buy it today. I am just taking my time to make sure I don't have a better option, since I am buying the guitar basically for a partcaster project. Hopw we both get lucky.

Buying online without being able to try before buy is always a bit of a lottery. HBs are usually pretty good but you only have to read the reviews to see that on occasion a lemon passes QC. So yes, I hope Slackey does get a good one and not a lemon.

Of course, I kind of understand that, I was just joking!

the hb62 showed up today...not bad...a week from germany for $65...i bought their mini trem pedal for $24...it's a rebranded joyo... and a guitar stand for $7 and it all came in the same box so it eased the shipping cost in my mind...the guitar was $129
i was skeptical so i've looked this guitar over quiet closely and there's not a single issue...fit is snug and correct all around.. the neck is gorgeous...the frets are level and there's no sharp...or even rough...fret edges...the pu switch feels sturdy and the volume and tone pots are smooth and effective...the tuners tune very smoothly and evenly and so far the tune has held...intonations is spot on...the pick up's are crisp and clear with some bottom end...they are roswell pu's...i have'nt heard of them before now either...finish is beautiful without flaws or mistakes...candy apple red...but know in some light there's a fairly strong pink hue...kinda cool...i've been playing it for about 4 hrs now...lots of nice tones and easy to play...i think it's a better product than my sq cv strat...which i love...overall i'm blown away

That's great. How do you find the fretboard radius. The HBs always seem a bit flatter than the squiers or fenders.
