Best and beauty.

... - The HB stickers on the head have fallen off - The jack socket does not hold the cable well (so-so) ... but these are all small trouble

Awesome neck-thru baritone guitar

The intonation could not quite be adjusted correctly out of the box due to bridge placement/screw length. It wasn't bad enough to relocate the bridge, but I did have to buy longer screws for the string saddles.

It sounds and looks really great

It was my best guitar for solos. Unfortunately it was crushed in accident. So I miss it very much.

It's not perfect

This is my 1st harley benton guitar. It had to be something good but...

pros: wood work, frets, nothing wrong here. good locking tuners, good nut, ok for 500 EUR guitar

cons: these emg's are really made in Indonesia.

volume and tone knobs are very cheap, toggle switch also feels very cheap.

the worst - bridge pickup was broken. it sounds like single coil pickup and produces a lot of noise. I even though to return back this guitar without any doubts and forget about harley benton for ever but I tried to experiment and dig into it. I changed them, checked wiring, issue was 100% clear - bridge pickup. I took spare emg 81 and problem has gone. Maybe its hard to detect such issues while they checked it in their facility, I do not know, it produced sound but it was wrong sound.

Also, tool for truss rod does not fit.

This is my review after 1 day of usage.
