CST-24HB TOL Tobacco Flame : Probably my favorite guitar once set up right.

I'm a beginner with two strats prior to this guitar. I use it at home.

Once I got used to the chunky neck, I found out that this was actually my preferred neck profile! However, the guitar came with some major fret buzz from frets number one and two. After getting it dressed and lowered just a bit, it started to sound better.

I recently switched out the strings to Chrome flat wound strings. This, combined with thread tape on the bridge screws, removed the tinny sound the guitar had. It now sounds far far better and it's a real joy to play.

There were a few finishing issues (the tree of life inlay is recessed into the fretboard) but with the right strings and a bit of work it's a fantastic guitar. That's why I ordered another Harley Benton!
