It's a Keeper
Another great guitar from HB. Out of the box it was very well set up. Intonation, action, nut all good. I just stretched the strings and tuned it up.
I am not really a relic person, but I was attracted by the reported light weights (mine is 7lb3oz) and very thin finish as well as the C neck profile. The fret ends are just slightly noticeable if being critical but not to an extent which you would feel when playing. I'll give them a little sanding when I change the strings (which seem very nice BTW).
The tone control rolls off evenly, however the volume is pretty much "off" when dialled half way.
All in all a quality T-style. I might just offload my Fender Vintera 50's

Good and beautiful
HB did very good job! Relic is convincing, neck, frets and pickups are nice quality. Sound is there, especially on bridge pickup. But the best part is when you play it, you can feel the wood , and finish on the body is so thin. Ok it is not perfect, neck need little adjustment, some frets are bit sharp but for the money is unbeatable. And it looks beautiful to.

Pretty awesome tele!
I'm quite impressed, I have some experience with teles (boutique, MIM, Road worn 50s... but not custom shop F) and this is a really nice guitar, plays great out of the box, nice to look at, too! It amazes me that it's that good for the money you pay. Btw, my first HB, I must admit that earlier I was a cork-sniffer, somewhat judgemental towards HB but I changed my mind with this tele, bravo HB!
Now, I know I don't need my 22nd guitar but that candy red over sunburst Jazzmaster sure looks nice 😉
