Harley Benton Amarok-7 BKRD Quilted Burst

Amazing guitar for the price.

Great bang for the buck

good build quality, there are minor paint defects but nothing too bad. I just wish they had a push/pull pot or a killswitch. but other than that. This guitar has been one of my best purchases. I don't regret buying it, and neither will anyone else. Unless they're really nit picky. Would defiantly recommend to any guitarist.

great pickups!

i was expecting a good guitar but bad pickups. i was wrong. this is a great guitar that just needed a good setup. great deal!

Best Value for the Money

Right out of the box, the guitar is already setup. I only had to tune it. Item got stuck at customs for way too long, but fortunately, the guitar still arrived to me in such great condition. I literally didn't need to do any setup as it already was playing great.

Great guitar, with some finish issues.

Overall you can't go wrong with this one unless you really can't stand emgs and you expect no finish flaws at all.

Guitar is beautiful. Period.

You can crank up really nice tones from it.

Surprisingly the pickups work even without the battery.

Output is lower as you expect and the tone is somewhat different - not worst/better, different.

Cons.

Mine came with some fretboard and nut finish issues.

If you wouldn't look close enough you wouldn't notice.

Some tooling marks on the side and wood imperfections on two of the frets.

The nut is cut poorly and too deep. Doesn't impact intonation on mine, just a visual thing.

Overall, not enough to send it back, but it's there.

The guitar is NOT set-upped right out of the box. Mine wasn't.

Rod, action, intonation, WAY off.

Like done by somebody that didn't know what he was doing or not at all.

There is some neck-dive on this model as the neck is heavy and because of the top strap holder's (what is the name?) position.

Would I buy it again? F. Yes.

Guitar is stunning with some imperfections.

Buy it, but take a close look when it arrives.

Cheers.

Fantastic guitar for the money

This has the finish and spec of a much more expensive guitar. I haven't had time to get used to playing a 7 string yet so it's hard to comment on playability, but so far it feels fine. Sounds good too, with excellent sustain. Does it djent? Yes it does. It also arrived very well set up, can't fault the action or intonation. The only minor criticism is that the strings weren't in the best condition, but I nearly always put new strings on a new guitar anyway so not much of a problem.
