SC-450Plus VB Vintage Series : An amazing deal

This is truly an amazing deal. This is my first Harley Benton but surely it won't be the last.

The first thing that jumps to the eye is obviously the price: at 169€, I thought "well the rewiews are good, but let's keep our expectations low, it's still a budget guitar". And it is, but the quality is astonishing, so my expectations were totally exceeded.

The guitar itself is very beautiful, the top is gorgeous and every electromechanical part works fine (except the pickup selector that is a bit wobbly, but no big deal). I didn't found any scratch or damage and the finish looks very nice. But the best part is that the setup is really unexpectedly good to go, i could have tuned it up and played a gig 2 minutes right after the unboxing. The frets are well leveled and there aren't sharp fret ends, and overall every detail is treated with great attention and makes this guitar feel and look WAY more expensive than it actually is.

One more detail, if you're like me, probably you've spent hours upon hours looking for reviews and demos of this product, and maybe you've heard that "the pickup splitter sticker, that sits under the two volume knobs, is glued and it's a pain to get rid of". I'm glad to say that it is no more, because now they're just two pieces of paper resting on the guitar.

Lastly, great job from the client service that helped me with the sostitution (the first one arrived seriously damaged) in a very professional, accomodating and efficient way.

So, in conclusion, if you're looking for a budget guitar, wether for a beginner, or as a modding starter, or even as your main instrument, this is a very solid choice, I'm not joking when I say this has been one of the best deals of my entire life.

Thank you, see you in a couple of months for another one.
