As far as I can tell HB doesn't have a 3-single coil st-model with hard tail? I would like to see something like the PRS SE EG with that configuration and no pick-guard. It would be nice to have the option of tops like the CST-24 and perhaps, some metalic blue and red and maybe pearl white too. I would love that, a ST with a hard tail and with hot rails alnico if possible

I would like to see a Harley benton telecoustic deluxe.. Have you seen the HB nylon custom Nashville model? Led Paul hollowed out body with pickup, looks nice. Also checkout the simarly priced stagg guitar. Theyres a chap playing one on utube too.

I'd be interested if they could supply an acoustic kit to complement the electric kits. Cf Martin, Stew Mac and those on eBay are available from the States for about $500. I just bought the HB cld41se for £200, I wonder how much they could do a kit for? I'd buy a couple if they were good value.

Cheers for the heads up guydio, that 1 doesnt float my boat looks wise nor does the nylon,how you liking the cld 41? Had mine a couple of days, cant believe how thin that neck is!!! I'm liking the cld41 better each day. I was impressed with the resonance and sustain from the first strum. It looks neat and well made inside too, I tried taking photos inside with my mobile phone but with limited success. Tuners don't look branded but hold it in tune very well so far. Inlay work is faultless on the neck I can't see the use if any fillers anywhere. Body binding is good also with only one mistake, about one mm short where the top white binding meets the neck join. Overall, I'm very pleased. I'm glad I went for a custom line top of the range. I didnt really want all that baloney (abalone), but it seems to me they take extra care of the top of the line guitar models and the extra care and attention to detail and prep work and setting up when it leaves Thomman is noted.

Seeing as these Harleys are possibly made in the same factory as ibanez, a talman vbs50 would be nice for about 15 quid?

Guydo the world needs more abalone!! Agreed the fit and finish on the 41 is indeed spot on,can't find any fault on mine,not sure the saddle is bone,as they sent a spare in with geet,that is plastic..excuse the tangent sorry.

I firmly believe that a Les Paul Jr. copy with a P-90 would have a lot of success (punks all over the world would buy one, for sure!). Nobody else makes a budget double cut Les Paul, I also think this would be a great success and would definately buy one

There is one style of guitar, I really would love HB to make. A decent but reasonable priced flamenco guitar. There was a HB flamenco some years ago, I don't know anything about the quality. What I would love especially is a Flamenco guitar with traditional ebony friction pegs. Cypress body, cypress neck, spruce top.

To go back to the idea of a LP Junior style guitar...
I'm kind of amazed they haven't done this already. The Junior has always had beauty-in-simplicity thing going for it that makes it perfect for beginners/students and anyone who wants a raw sounding knock-around instrument. Seems to me that they could produce this with one of the Wilkinson P90's with a decent finish and hardware and retail it for EUR 125-150 with no problem.

So when are any new models likely to be announced? Most companies tend to account in Jan/Feb right?
Do that just stick them on the website or do they announce them in some way?

Both. At times they put their photos or just names up and at times they just appear out of the blue That is why I love browsing Thomann daily for new HB arrivals you never know when they will hit you
