HB JA-60 OW : My New Favorite

I'm just an at home player, and still a beginner at that! I can say with certainty that I love this guitar.

This was the first Harley Benton I ordered (along with an SC-450 Plus) and to be honest I was anticipating the arrival of the SC-450 more. While I haven't played the SC-450 yet (it was broken on arrival and the replacement should be arriving any day now), I have fallen in love with this beautiful looking and sounding guitar. The guitar is immaculate to look at, the fit and finish blow away my Squire Strat, and played beautiful right out of the box. I didn't even change the strings. The pickups have a lovely bite to them, with the warmth and sustain of humbuckers and the clarity and brightness of single coils. The tuners are smooth and hold very well with only minor tuning needed occasionally, despite the stock strings. I haven't even put graphite in the nut slots yet. Every time I go to play I find myself grabbing the JA-60, despite having 6 other guitars to chose from. I'm waiting on the arrival of 3 more HB's and if they are even close to as good as this one, even more will follow!
