the Guitar out of the box was ok. Frets and Neck great, very thick neck, which i like.
I changed: Foam underneath the Springs to prevent rattling, Planet Waves Locking Tuners, Seymour Duncan JBjr./Bridge & Vintage Rails/Neck.
I got another one, where for a pitty i damaged the Fretboard. There i only changed the Nut to Bone, Planet Waves Locking Tuners. Kept the stock Wilkinson SCs - great Strat-Sound!
Thanks for the info! Is the neck as thick as on the Les Paul or a bit thinner? I dont like too thick necks because I play chords often and find that my thumb hurts after playing a thick neck
Oh man, I dont need that "heavy body sound" to wreck my shoulder even more. I think I will opt for the HB ST-62 with basswood body which is lighter. You must trust me when I say that thick neck makes my fretting hand ache after playing. Very likely to do something with how I hold the neck or how much I squeez it while playing.
Last year I bought this model as I didn't like the shape of the HB 35. Nice about this model is that it is an exact ES335 copy (ps. switch, pots,...)
Didn't have to modify a lot to it, a bit to intonation and action. Worked right out of the case (not box, all J&D "hollow" guitars are delivered with a case included !)
The price was 202€ (as the model is not available anymore)
What Harley Benton is for "Thomann"....Is Jack & Danny for the "Music Store".
Jack & Danny is germans "Music Store" house brand. It follows the same rules as HB.
Good guitars for low prices.
In a direct comparison you can tell the guitars cost a little more than the HBs. But they got interesting color choices and the overall quality seems to be HB standard. Some guitars comes with a case, something Thomann didnt so anymore (am i wrong?)
30 days money back.....3 year warranty...!
So....does someone got a Jack & Danny? What do you think of them?
Will you watch my review if i buy one?! Im very interested in some models.
for example this one... check the shape of the headstock!!!
I've got the HB-35Plus preordered, I'm a bit scared if I'll start looking at the J&D guitars I'll want to have them too.
Take into account that the HB35 is not a jazz ( fully hollow body) guitar. The HB bigtone and the models from Musicstore's J&D as seen in the Gretsch thread are all full hollow body. HB35 is semi hollow like the SH20 that i own. Note the model type at J&D : SA means Std Acoustic, SH means Semi Hollow. It seems however no SH models are available anymore.

Gotcha, for the type of music I play that´s better since there will be too much feedback from a full hollow body guitar.
