CST-24T Black Cherry Flame : Black cherry flavor

6 years ago

This guitar made in Vietnam is the best inexpensive guitar I have ever played and this is by far the best value for money.

The arched flamed maple top with "black cherry flame" finish is almost perfect. The neck has a high-gloss finish that doesn’t feel sticky. The attractive binding is not only on the body but also on the neck. The frets were perfect and it plays great all the way up to the 24th fret.

Its warm tone has plenty of sustain, supported by two Roswell humbuckers controlled by 3-way switch. The double coil pickups can be split using a push/pull tone knob, increasing the range of available sounds. Thus, CST-24T can cover almost any genre

of music- blues, rock, fusion, funk and even heavy metal.

The Harley Benton CST-24T stacks up very well against the PRS SE electric guitar which is a much more expensive guitar.

If you dont like humbuckers and you want single coil tones then check out the Harley Benton CST-24T P90 version, it’s also a great guitar for the same money.

The only problem with my guitar was the fretboard - it was dry and the colour was lighter orange (jatoba) instead of dark brown.

Overall I would recommend this guitar to anyone who's looking for a budget instrument with a great value.
