RB-600CS Classic Series : Quite the surprise

My first Harley Benton - I wanted to try one of their more unique designs, even if it is clearly inspired by Rickenbacker.

Nice compact body, nicely balanced. And absolutely gorgeous looking.

Neck is pretty slim and feels good. Glossy finish, so maybe not for everyone.

Sound: Surprising versatility with quite some character, doesn't really sound like other guitars I have. Nice unamplified sound to begin with. Relatively low output PUs with a pretty dark overall sound. Combines nicely with a clean bright amp (Fender etc) and works rather well even with some added crunch. Not for high distortion.

Quality: well, I had to scrape a few places on the fretboard which had pretty noticeable scattermarks from machining. Aside from that, quality seems good for the price. And considering what quality I had to deal with from other way pricier brands, this one very much holds its place. Honestly quite incredible how much guitar you are getting for the money.
