Just got my recently acquired HB35 back from my friend who is a tech at the local guitar shop. He did a bang up job. He said it is one of the nicest guitars he has ever played. It is amazing. I just bought it on a whim as I had a no name no serial number copy that I bought for $60.The guy was asking $250 with no case. It was in mint shape too. I gave that to my stepson when I bought the Washburn. The HB was $400 with original very tacky case. I took my time on the case repair and it turned out great. Not quite mint but very very nice considering it's prior condition. Have a look on my Photo bucket site under HB35.....tnx....JJ
