DC-580 CH Vintage Series : It is a great guitar

I ordered this guitar, because I wanted to try Harley Benton after so many good reviews on the internet.

I wasn't disappointed. I love the finish, the color and the design, every aspect of it. I like the neck joint, the controls, the roseacer fretboard. I love that the jack is on the bottom, not on the front. The controls are versatile. It wasn't neckheavy. The action was a bit high, but the guitar was well set-up intonationwise. I could lower the strings by 2-3 mm and it was still not buzzing, but the playability improved a lot. I could set the intonation too. The fret ends are ok, but the tuners are the worst I've ever experienced. They kept the guitar in tune, but they have a big play and was hard to tune the guitar. I am not the fan of the neck, it is a bit thick and the feel of the lack annoyed me a bit. I think it is only personal preference thing. I am a stratocaster-type guy. I actually sent back the guitar, because I didn't feel playing it, but all-in-all I recommend it to anyone, who likes SG-s. The price is amazing and it is a great starter guitar. I already had some higher quality guitars and this one couldn't make it to the favourites. I really wanted to try an SG, just to see if I'm liking it, but it turned out that I don't, but if you do, I recommend it.
