Better than expected - by far!
Arrived in perfect condition - no blemishes at all. No problem there. No fret sprouts on neck - smooth as butter. Strings as usual showing slight signs of corrosion, but I always restring immediately. Fitted with D'Addario 9 gauge set and away she went. No issues with intonation and the action was already super low. The fretboard needs lemon oil as it was quite dry, but not an issue. This double cut is the equal to Epiphone for sure. I would recommend this (lightweight) guitar to anyone, newbie to seasoned played. We all need an SG type guitar in our arsenal. Only gripe is the lack of colour choice for us lefties.

Looks great, sounds rough
The finish and general feeling on hands is quite good; That's definitely not a cheap looking guitar.
It's only flaw for me is regarding it's general growl. I never played the real SG so I don't know if it got the same sound profile but so far I feel it kinda weak on the high ends. Lows are great tho. Anyway, great for some muddy doom, stoner or vintage rock but it definitely does lack the versatility of a less expensive strat-like you could buy from HB.

Bought for son’s first adult guitar.
It is great HB have so many lefty options. For a reasonably priced first decent guitar it ticks the boxes. Twin humbucker, set neck and looks like a certain rockers main toy it went down a treat.
Only gripe was the bridge volume pot being flaky, which turned out to be loose and twisting, rather than being a dodgy switch.
Definitely has upgrade potential and stock pickups are reasonable for the moment.

Very good guitar for the price
I am very happy with how this guitar turned out to be. Given the price i would recommend it completely.
It could probably have a better finish, but again, for the price, it's a great deal.

A good guitar.
Great sound, feeling and playability. Could be more balanced, because of the neck diving but nothing to worry about.
Setup not needed, good job on that.
No flaws on the finish.
I recommend this guitar for who likes this model.
