RB-612CS Classic Series : Surprinsgly Good

I didn't know what to expect but took a shot when I bought this guitar. I bought a Chinese Ric knock-off earlier this year and it needed work when I received it. This Harley Benton (made in China) though looks beautiful. The finish is nice. Tuners work well (nice and tight). The pick guard is well done (the Chinese Ric knock-offs come with terrible looking pick guards). I plugged it in and it played with no noise and the pickups sound pretty darn good. The only problem and I had the same issue with the Chinese Ric knock-off is the screws attaching the bridge cover are too long and this does not allow the bridge itself to go very low when you need to set the action lower. The fix is to either install shorter screws or snip the screw ends and the problem is solved (the action on the guitar is too high for my tastes). For the money, this is a total winner. Highly recommended.
