Maybe you should wait until I get mine next week so you get an idea if this one is ok or not. Unless you want to mod it to death then my opinion means little That's why I'm waiting. I have burned myself on 4 dodgy HB's so far so I figured why not try another one I have so many blisters already ...

Yes have explained all the issues and have sent them photos if there was such visual problem ... each time reply was "Thank you for your email. We are very sorry to hear about your problem, blah blah blah blah ... we will arrange for the return ... blah blah ..."

Maybe with your next order, write a little comment saying you've had all sorts of problems and if they can make sure they send you a good one. It might help. (it might not)

It will not help. I tried that in the past and the Guitar Department would say they cant do that because "all instruments were ALREADY checked and they cant do it again" Its ok marit! I dont care anymore. These are indeed some cheapo guitars. I just had luck in the past with the L-450+, TE-90QM and JB-75NA (which was a Deko bass for 42 Euro, flawless) as well as the CLA-16S. Oh not to forget the amazing SC-550 Amber flame was a great guitar for lead stuff! So I did get some amazing axes out of the box (some small tweaking here and there but nothing major). These last two orders were absolute junk (out of 4 guitars all crap, well maybe the HB35 plus was ok actually) and I can feel the pain some folks have when complaining about HB guitars especially if living in US or New Zealand/Australia I can at least return the stuff. My plan from the start was to buy a Jazzmaster ... maybe this is just teaching me a lesson to go with the original plan! If this JA-60OW is bad then Im staying away from HB for a while and will try to get a Jazzmaster instead. Another thing I could see me doing is buy ST-20 and TE-20 and mod the hell out of them. At least I like those Modern C shape necks they both have!

That's true papache, which once you still have of those? How's the CLA-16S doing? Good luck with your search for the perfect guitar, you don't regret selling those axes you had? You were really pleased with your TE-90QM...

I only have the very first HB I've bought the ST-20 with cheapo China alnico pickups. No I did not regret selling my guitars. I dont miss any of them. Search goes on to find that one and only

Unless you want to mod it to death then my opinion means little I liked the sb ja60 except the guard,couldn't believe they put it on the white one too,it can't affect sales to much.the only thing I will change is that guard,I could not look at it all time.my guitars hang round my walls.I look at them more than the TV!
