My advice is to get the HB and send it back if you done like it.
I'd say that up to around £5-600 you get what you pay for. Beyond that there are diminishing returns.
Of course an £2000 guitar is better made, better finished, has higher quality components etc. But is it 4x better than a £500 guitar? I bought a second hand Shiflett tele for £500, from Andertons a while ago. I also tried an American tele deluxe (£1200) and a Friedman vintage t (£2200) at the same time.
I decided it wasn't worth spending the extra money and bought the Shiflett. It's a great guitar.
All it needed was trussrod and intonation set. No fret bloom. Sounded ok at the time, but I thought it sounded better after a break of a few years when my Jazz was away to get a prosetup. Bridge seemed ok but I always thought the tuners sucked.
I've tried to sell it locally a few times, but nobody wants it. Even for £20.
