HB LP Clone – A Promising Budget Guitar with Minor Setbacks
One of the projects we’ve been working on recently is an impressive HB LP clone. Despite its affordable price, this guitar offers remarkable value. However, like most entry-level guitars, it does have a few drawbacks. One major issue is the fretwork, with no apparent fret leveling done during installation. Consequently, the action had to be set higher to mitigate fret buzz. After addressing the fretwork, a neck reset became necessary to further improve the guitar’s playability. Although the outcome wasn’t entirely satisfying, adjustments to the truss rod helped alleviate the issue. The hardware is generally decent, but there are problems with the 3-way switch and pots. Overall, the guitar is worth buying, but it may require additional investments and adjustments.
Acoustic guitar bridge problems
Last week we have one low end acoustic guitar with bridge problem. Owner put string 12 gauge and bridge was pulled from the body.
