JB-40FL 3-Tone Sunburst : really nice

The Harley Benton JB-40FL SB at 149 euro is amazing, the neck is wonderful, the fret board ( or should that be just ..board) is blackwood which I've not played before, its not black and it has some very nice details.

The finish is perfect and it sounds great.

The only change I made was to fit flatwound strings and get the action down to almost nothing and now its a joy.

The only thing I'm not so keen on is the pickups are not adjustable, doesn't matter that much, I just like to have adjustment in case I change a bridge or fit very light strings.

lovely thing, If you wont to try a fretless this is the one it even has fret lines that seem to be set in material, not drawn on. jaco would approve!
