I agree! I prefer rounded edges on an S-style. But I could go for a bound if I like the looks and feel of a guitar. I've never seen myself as a purist or having a particular preference, I'm not just one guitar type player. I play Teles, Strats, PRS double cut, Yamaha Revstar, I've tried Les Pauls and other single cut, but I moved away from those. Turns out my main preference is single coils, leaning mostly towards the Strat. And I play pretty loud and heavy. Humbuckers tend to get a bit dark. Wide range humbuckers, though...

My mate tried to play my guitars once and he put so much pressure on them because he plays non trem bridges and puts a lot of pressure on the bridge.

@@cameronfarrell9076 You don't need a lot of pressure to push a string out of tune. Even fretting a string can do this. Bending strings moves the bridge. It needs a reasonable amount of force to do a divebomb, but the slightest touch on the trem bar will change the pitch. Although you obviously have the advantage of a lever there I think if you observe more closely you'll see that you're altering the pitch if you rest your hand on the bridge because the bridge is moving. And I say look rather than hear deliberately because it's possible that your pitch sensitivity isn't high enough to notice small changes and that you can't tell by listening. Nevertheless others will be able to hear and it is happening.

I am absolutely in love with those flamed necks! This is a smart move by HB because you don't see them on many low to mid-range priced models from other brands. This, paired with the modern features, might eventually make me put an HB next to my Krautster II at some point. Generally, there is too little talk about the look of guitar necks, in my opinion, because the neck is what you see the most while playing guitar, especially as an introverted guitarist like me 😅

Found it very easy to adjust to Babicz trem bridges, probably caused by playing with a lively FR for some years, the more expensieve version of them are my absolute favorite, it has side locking. Thomann did not and probably still doesn’t have the 2 point version of those, had to order 2 recently via the distributor instead. As I did mention earlyer, the Wilkinson bridge on the Fusion III does not stay in tune with heavy trem usage even when clamped down for only dives, these do.

Sounds weren’t there for me, no doubt great guitars for the money. Sadly no new SSS strat. If someone is on a tight budget this seems like a crazy value, saw the specs and just went ”so it’s a charvel for 1/3 of the price”. Sadly my experiences with HB aren’t great(even the sc custom gotoh), so have no feelings about this. What a time for midrange guitars. Like you said, HB has come a long way since the mid 00’s, those guitars were almost illigal how bad they were.

The devil is in the detail, quite literally. On the surface these seem like insane value, and his copies seem perfect (as you'd expect in a 'paid-for' video), but wait until you get a regular one in your hands and see if it's playable. I'd guess your chances are 50/50, and since HB is probably targetting beginners this isn't good enough as a beginner is going to hate playing something that always goes out of tune, buzzes and has dead spots, and will probably just give up. If HB are serious raise the price by 50€ for each guitar and get them checked meticulously before being leaving the factory. 449€ for these with a high guarantee of a quality? Yes please. Playing roulette on whether you'll be able to play it or not when it arrives? No thanks.

These look and sound great! It`s funny that this is pretty much exactly what I did to my first guitar ever, a Yamaha Pacifica 112 from 2006, including the Babicz bridge, new hardware and Wilkinson instead of Tesla Pickups. I have a Harley Benton 550 with Teslas as well, so I know they sound great too. When I upgraded my Pacifica a few years ago, the Harley Bentons just switched from Wilkinson to something else I didn't really like. But the Tesla PUs are on par with Wilkinson again. Both PU brands don't have to shy away from the G"redacted" PUs in my LP ether and have a way better price to performance ratio. That pelham blue one is very tempting though, since my Pacifica is "only" candy apple red and I prefere blue. Maybe I have to give those a try. Thank you for the honest review as always, Henning! Edit: Oh and for everyone wondering how good the Babicz bridge is. I played guitars with Fender, Ibanez Japan, Duesenberg, Bigsby, as well as PRS USA vibratos and except for the Duesenberg, this is my favorite by far. It stays in tune exceptionally well, even when I don't play the Pacifica for weeks (shame on me ^^"). It also manages tuning to drop D well without having to retune the other strings and yes, I have no problems palm muting with it. :D

They do seem cool. But, I don't massively see the need to mess with classic Strat SSS design, unless it's going to be your one and only guitar, for touring - like say Tyler Bryant does. Tele and Stat designs should be left classic, imho. Tele Deluxes with neck humbuckers are also pretty horrid. So, I'd prefer a second-hand Vintera, or even a Squier CV Strat or Teles. Because I mostly use the neck pickup, occassionally the middle for funk/soul and wouldn't want the HSS because that thin bridge sound is really nice for surfy sounds. And if I was picking just one guitar to cover most bases, that can rock out, but versatile enough to also do single-coil type tones, I'd prefer a P90 Les Paul Special guitar.

I wonder if they finally put some resistors to balance the single coils and the humbucker on the 500K pots. Literaly less than a 0,50$ addon that changes everything... Easy and fast to do it yourself, but that should not be skipped in an affordable guitar targetting Suhr and other boutique guitars as their reference. That Babibz bridge seems to have a long tremolo arm just like on the Ibanez AZ guitars. Not sure I get why they skipped the staggered tuners and replaced the already awesome rolled string trees with cheap, string breaking ones though.. Most likely for being able to keep the price at 399. Anyway, GREAT guitars!

My guitar is perfect except the same exact noise/hum that can be heard in this video when guitar is not been played. I mostly own guitars with active humbuckers and hardtail bridges so this noise is new to me. Is it because of passive single coil pickups or arent the Tesla pickups not good enough? Or is it a shielding or grounding problem? The noise is louder when playing with tube amp, solid state is not as bad.

Question for @eytschpi42 and everybody else: If you could rank them - Sire S7, Pacifica 612 and this HB...what would be your verdict?

@17:08 clacky claky clacky clack, @21:27 ehh not quite as bad i suppose that might be pickup height adjustments, seems like you could have to back pickups off a bit and maybe it would sound good or maybe you'd have to swap them out i don't have enough information to tell yet. All I know is I don't like it yet, listening on my studio monitors.

Would love to see the plaintop-version with the same neck-pocket as the flametops.

Stop arguing about the neck, it is described on thomann as a roasted flamed mapple neck. They must sell what they describe. And you find mapple flamed necks on ali for 70€. So I can imagine, it is not a big difficulty for thomann. i think with same pickups, pots and capcitors, it would have the same tone as your 6000€ guitar. A strat is a simple guitar with cheap woods. For high prices, it is a special treatment or relic to justify the price. Nice video and really good guitars thanks 👍

no, it would not sound like my 6K guitar. That is absolutely not the case. I play any price range daily and I can tell the difference.
