Really Like It...after a bit of work
This is the second HB guitar with a skunk stripe that is not flush with the neck (the first being an MV4P bass). The skunk stripe was slightly sunken in on both ends. Fortunately it isn't too difficult to correct--progressive sanding from 400 to 1200 to white Scotch Brite. Unfortunately this left a mismatch in the finish, but one coat of Tru Oil gave it a perfect match. The fret ends we're also a bit scratchy, which again wasn't too hard to address.
Aside from that, I'm unimpressed with the tuners. Black tuners never seem to agree with me. They almost always feel cheap. Maybe I will replace them with gold if I can find a gold drop in bridge.
With that out of the way, I love it, particularly the pickups. They are much nicer than my other HH s-type--a Squier Contemporary Strat. Color and body finish is excellent.
Very happy with the purchase after some tinkering.
