SC-Custom Plus EMG FR VBK : I took a chance.

I've been playing for 40 years and I'm a big fan of many guitar brands. This is my first Harley Benton and I swung for the fences.

Got their top-end model. I unboxed it and was amazed. Unbelievable. Fit and finish are perfect and I would say it's on par with companies like Schecter and LTD. It arrived almost in tune. Neck and frets are flawless. It's a thinner, slicker neck than I was expecting and is satin finished. It's a 25.5" scale and it come strung up with 10's. It feels a bit tense, not tight, but there's more tension than I'm used to. Definitely going to restring with 9's and see how that feels after these strings go dead. It feels great as-is, but I'm used to lighter strings. Pickups sounds incredible and the Floyd is setup beautifully for flutters, dives, all other Floydisms.

I rate the guitar as a 10 out of 10. Very inspiring instrument. Feels so right.

It would be worth twice the price.
