  I just acquired an H-27 that is in immaculate shape.The feel of the neck with flat wounds is old school awesome! Ican not get over the buttery yummy sound this doll produces.The light weight of the bass makes it great for an old timer like me.Iplayed my first gig with it ,and it was magnificent.If you can get your hands on one buy it,you will not regret it.There is nothing like it out there.
