Did you see this video? I did and found it interesting.
My immediate thought is that I would like this same test to be done on Tele style guitars from HB and Squire, to see if there is a difference.
Secondly I think Les Paul style guitars are a bit more complex to build compared to Tele or strat style, so I think it should not be such a problem on those guitars.
Still, it is worrying a bit, because you can tell the quality of the body wood is abysmal, and this guitar honestly seems like garbage material wise… so if I had ideas about getting an HB, i would likely not get it after seeing this video, which is a refreshing take after having seen so many videos praising HB.
Thoughts?
i tend to agree although the thing he said about the neck not being straight is worrying. but it is true Thomann would have replaced the guitar no problem.
Dylan does have a history of Harley Benton haterade, in general. I agree with comments on the video about moisture testing other high price point guitars to give some legitimacy to that.
