I’ve considered EART but the problem is that the informations about it are a bit muddy, there were things that weren’t clear about the specs, for example material and output of the pickups.
Also they sold the gigbag separately and that made the whole thing a lot more expensive

Also, how’s the body contour?

I’d say it’s nice, it has an arm contour that make it comfortable to play in the upright position and a belly carve

Are there any upgrades that you are planning on?

On the long term I’m probably going to replace the electronics: there is nothing wrong, it’s just that the potentiometers are linear when I prefer them to be logarithmic and while I’m at it I’ll put a stronger switch on. But it’s just perfectionism, if I had to keep the guitar as is it would be totally fine

Actually all Hils guitars have a wedge shaped portion over the nut so you can hang them without any worries

I genuinely have nothing but good things to say about this instrument. Of course it has frets that are a little sharp or the switch that feels a little flimsy, but it’s the same with every guitar in this range and those issues are very easy to fix or cheap to upgrade.

Beyond Good & Evil
Maybe it has a bit of cult following now but it flew over everyone’s head back then

I said “most”

Fair enough

As a kid I wanted to go to music school but we couldn’t afford it because my single mother had two jobs and other three children to take care of.
I did free lessons at the community center, borrowed my first instrument and got library books. No one encouraged me to do it, I just did it because music was something I wanted in my life.
Now OK, that was me and I was just a kid with a lot of spare time right? What about adults?
Well, if I graduated while working full-time (and I’m not exactly “Good Will Hunting” level of smart) everyone can do something as trivial as learning basic Spanish if they want.

I don’t think money is an entry barrier for most of those things. It is if you want to make any of those things a full time job.

Yeah but it’s too much redpilled jargon to be understood by a simple mortal like me. So I’ll leave you to it since it’s starting to sound a lot like “anyone that doesn’t have my specific and niche point of view is an enemy and must be educated” and I don’t feel like being educated by someone that uses this amount of emoticons

As a polyero, would you start a relationship with someone that wants a monogamous relationship?

There is nothing wrong in wanting sexual exclusivity, in the same way there is nothing wrong in wanting more than one partner.
Seeing either as “oppression” is limited mindset.

Cheating isn’t about monogamy, it’s about lack of respect for the other part

When it comes to Harley Benton, especially the cheaper models, I believe it’s a bit hit/miss: some instruments had one or more quality issues during the assembly chain, others are crazy in terms of value for money.
I have a TE-62 I bought 4 years ago and never had huge problems in the wood department, except maybe the need to adjust the truss rod a couple times instead of once during seasonal changes.
I also have a JB-20 bass I got second hand and that never had a problem either.
I don’t know how much difference there would be with a Squier of the same price level (e.g. the Bullet/Sonic range) as I never owned one, but basing my opinion solely on customer ratings I’d say HB is received slightly better.

If you decide to go this route, the kits from Harley Benton are a no-brainer. If you like fuzz, something with humbuckers might suit your needs.
And learning how to do a proper setup is as important as building the kit itself (if not more), so if you don’t have it, you will need to get something to measure your string action, I use a machinist ruler, but there are also action gauges that make the job easy. You will also need a capo and feeler gauges to measure the neck relief.
Everything else like screwdrivers and Allen wrenches are something that you probably already have and as I said there are plenty tutorials on how to use all of these tools for a setup.
With a small investment you’ll be able to adjust all of your instruments, making them more comfortable to play and allowing you to play for longer periods without fatigue.

The next step, as I said, would be doing a basic fretwork. That is going to bring your guitar to an even higher level, but that is a process that if done wrong can ruin your instrument, so if you don’t have a lot of experience working on guitars I’d wait until you can at least do a setup with ease.

Micro because it’s literally nano with more familiar shortcuts

The right answer is always “whatever guitar is gonna make you play more”.
For example, I lately bought my first headless guitar, an Hils HNT1 to be precise. I didn’t get it for the sound, I already have more than one telecaster iterations, I got it as a couch guitar and for when I travel. It’s so light and compact that is impossible not to pick it up every time I walk by it.

If you want to learn more instead, get yourself a cheap building kit, a fret rocker, a fret-end file and a Frtlzr system. Follow a tutorial somewhere on setup and basic fretwork and make the best you can get out of that guitar (I assure you that is much more than you expect).
You won’t spend more than 300$ and you’ll end up with another guitar, a great learning experience and some tools you can use to get the most out of the guitars you already have.

Yes it was X’D

Edit:
Found the kit on aliexpress

Could you please describe exactly how it happened?

Of course, I dashed against the fallen tree and I got stuck under the branch, it seemed like a collision issue (I’m no expert, mind that). The bee couldn’t reach me either.

We hope this unfortunate experience didn’t discourage you too much and that you were still willing to restart the game.

Of course not, I had to go do other stuff, but I’d be glad to keep playing in the future
