DC-600 VI Vintage Series : Good quality but neck felt too thick

5 years ago

Maybe I'm more critical because I have wanted SG for a long time and accidentally tried 2000€ Gibson new model while I had this Harley Benton DC-600 in home. I have one Harley Benton TE-30 and kept it. Pros: Overall quality for this price range is good. Coloured and finished nicely. It maybe looks abit more yellow than you see in pictures. It's made from real wood and you can't get any mahogany guitar in that price range for sure. Feels maybe little heavy compared to Gibson but this is around 10x more expensive. Pick ups sounds ok, noting special but fine.

Cons: Main cons was neck thickness for me. Nobody really talks about it but if you expect really thin neck from this its a little thicker because its c-shape. I realised I want thin D-shape. Also tuners felt abit loose, specially mine on 6th string.

I decided not keep it and save the money for real SG:)
