New guitar day ! Only 1 complaint

[Lucius Paisley]

I get wanting to buy something budget based on the good word of other people, but this is just one reason why I can't see myself ever buying a HB guitar. Although it was very tempting for a while.

In other news, I can't believe I'm letting "ethics" be a reason to stop me from buying something. I guess I am becoming less cynical with age.

Huh? Harley benton did nothing wrong in asking for it back and they didnt break it.

I dont get what the Harley Benton Brand did ethically wrong

do you think it was purposely sent broken

the name was just a chosen for a Store brand at Thomann its not a real entity
there is no person named Harley Benton involved

now the name Hartley Peavey is a real guy, and I know alot of Peavey's down here

[Lucius Paisley]

SO close.

Moving on...

After I plugged it in for a few seconds.... I wasn't really impressed sadly, and truthfully.

For under 3 bills the Jackson js32 models are a lot more solidly built in my humble opinion....

I was hoping this would be a fun little beater guitar, but, I won't be buying another one anytime soon.

For beater guitar
the under $200
IYV and West Creek and Leo Jaymes are easy beaters.

So they’re the Betty Crocker of guitars!

Omg! This thread made me order a cheap Jackson. Mf has a silverburst js34 for 26% off. $233+tax, free ship.

It looks like a real jackson with binding and sharkfins.

I will probably wake up tomorrow and have regrets, but a cheap and fun backup guitar that looks nice cant be a bad thing.

Yes! That's great!

There are a lot of "cheap" (money wise) guitars out there that are not "cheap" (quality wise).

A less-than $200 guitar with new pickups and a good setup (an additional $100-200) can be made to play and sound like a $1000-2000 guitar.

And sadly, I've had $1000-2000 guitars that needed the same setup work.

IME, when they put a Floyd on these cheap guitars, is means you generally don't have to worry about upgrading the tuners or nut. And a Floyd nut is easy to remove if you need to level the frets or lower the nut.
