RB-600BK Classic Series : RB-600BK compares favorably with Rickenbacker 325C64

6 years ago

Today I received my Harley Benton RB-600BK. Last week I got a Rickenbacker 325C64, so I was able to compare the two side by side.

I am amazed and delighted with the RB-600; it sounds quite similar to the 325C64. The RB-600 is just a bit brighter, but rolling off some treble gives one a very close approximation of that classic Ricky sound. The action and intonation were very good right out of the box; impressive for a guitar that was shipped from Germany to California.

For a guitar that costs less than a tenth of the 325C64, to say that I am most impressed would be an understatement! I will be ordering the Harley Benton RB-612CS 12-string very soon.
