DC-Junior Faded Cherry : Meh

3 years ago

Bought this because I wanted a p90 guitar and didn’t have one.

Playability and sound-wise it’s more or less on par with a squire product (caution that pickup is quite noisy however). Quality wise… this was not well made.

It seems as though the fretboard is darkened with the use of a dye? They forgot to dye the bottom end of my fretboard and it looks comical. Doesn’t effect playability, but it does bother me. Intonation is sharp by about 5-7 cents on 12th fret even with saddles all the way back on E and G strings. Without the use of a tuner I don’t know that I could hear that? But again it bothers me.

This is my second Harley Benton product, the other was much better.

Sound wise it sounds just like a p90 should but there must be zero shielding because it’s very noisy.

Not upset enough to return, but wouldn’t buy again.
