RB-600CS Classic Series : Rickenbacker on a Budget

This guitar looked interesting (a Rickenbacker style guitar at a fraction of the price).

As usual the guitar arrived promptly and was well packed.

Out of the box this guitar probably wasn't as instantly to my liking (in terms of playability) as other Harley Benton guitars have been. I did have to spend a bit of time setting this guitar up. Having spent a bit of time working on the set up I can't honestly say that I am still happy wit things.

The guitar sounds ok, but not that special. So I'm a little disappointed I guess. However, this isn't a bad guitar. You have to consider the price. The guitar is a lovely size and feels very comfortable to hold. Nicely styled. I am just not that impressed with the tonal range and variation in pick ups. All things considered I will keep the guitar and maybe change the pick ups at some point.

Having bought a couple of other Harely Benton Guitars I had no hesitation in making another purchase. The Harley Benton guitars are excellent value for money, well made and very playable. The only fault I ever find with them is that they all (all the models I have purchased) have minor cosmetic flaws. The finish is never quite perfect.
