HWY-25BKS Progressive Series : Might be the best guitar in its category and price range

Guitar arrived in perfect condition; no high frets, no scratches, no broken electronics or anything. Matte black finish and satin neck, what is there not to like here?

The fretwork on mine was an amazing surprise- the frets were crowned and polished, something I have never seen at this price before. The action was high, but lowering it didn't cause fret buzz.

As someone else noted, the pickups are passive with the active look and actually sound OK for most genres, no need to swap them immediately.

The neck is kinda thick, similar to a Schecter (IMO), not the "Modern D" I expected.

Some cons would be the cheap small pots and the tuners that don't hold tuning well. Might want to swap the nut first though. Also, I blocked the cheap unuseable tremolo, it probably has to be swapped if you need to use it.

TL;DR - Best bang for buck "metal guitar" under ~140 euros that Harley Benton has; also suited for leads (24 frets).
