DC-Junior FAT Benton Blue : This is exactly what a jr is supposed to be!!!

I have been playing for over 30 years and currently front the band Black Cats NYC. Over the years I have played many different guitars from many different brands. I am old school so the classics are the guitars I tend to gravitate towards. During the pandemic and not being able to play live, I did a lot of YouTubing and that's where I first discovered Harley Benton.

I pulled the trigger on the HB DC-Jr Fat in Benton Blue.... what a great guitar!!! Fist of all it looks phenomenal, the color jumps out at you and the fretboard is beautiful. Second it plays great, the neck is fast and inspiring. Third it sounds unbelievable, that Roswell P90 has great tone!

The jr. came perfect out of the box, no paint flaws or fret issues, decent strings, and it comes with both white and black pickguard, backplate, trussrod cover and knobs... it's like getting 2 for the price of 1 ha! The hardware is real good quality and doesn't look or feel cheap. The tuners (15:1 ratio) don't slip, the bridge intonates great, the nut is graphite, and the P90 is stacked! (you can go from single coil to humbucker) This guitar really cuts through the mix, not a "true" P90 but it growls and has its own unique sound that I absolutely love. Inside the soldering is spot on and the wiring is neat and tidy. I have a "real" dc special and in comparison, the HB is slightly thicker in the neck and body, and a little lighter.

The only thing I had to do to this guitar was change the strings due to personal preference, they come with .10 gauge and I play .11's. Setting this guitar up was easy and it now plays even better. My band is recording in a couple of days and I will be using this guitar on one of the songs!

I highly recommend the HB DC- Junior FAT to anyone looking for a great, fun to play, rock 'n' roll guitar.
