SC-450Plus HB Vintage Series : Incredible guitar at an incredible price

I'm a proponent of super budget guitars, and I had been considering a Harley Benton guitar for a long time. The only thing stopping me was the high shipping cost to America. I couldn't resist any longer, and finally bought this one.

I've been playing a really nice low budget Strat from another company for 3 years, and I love it, but I've gotten into recording, and I wanted a guitar that offered an alternative sound to the Strat, something with more punch and power to counter the slinkiness of the Strat, and a Les Paul style with humbucker pickups is the perfect choice. After agonizing over color choices, I chose the Honey Burst, and pulled the trigger.

It arrived quickly, in only a few days, packed in a guitar box, inside of a larger box with a top quality gig bag that I also ordered. It arrived with no damage, other than a broken high E string.

The finish was perfect, everything worked great, and I couldn't find a single flaw, it seemed to be set up fine, and was playable out of the box (other than tuning it of course). I've had it a few months now, and I couldn't be happier with it. Switching between the LP and the Strat is like going from a high-powered SUV to a Ferrari. Both are great rides, but offer completely different experiences.

In short, I am 100% happy with my Harley Benton purchase. I've got a list of guitars I'd like in my collection, and plan on buying from HB when the guitar-buying bug bites me again.
