Harley Benton BigTone Trem White 4-stars Reviews

It's beautiful and functional but a bit heavy, don't be surprised. The pick ups aren't the best for my taste.

It has everything you could want at a steal of a price. So long as you are able to do a setup you're good to go. Also if you aren't able to, nows the time to learn. Having a lower price sure justifies doing the work yourself as well. Happy strumming!

Can't believe how much I like this guitar

I was expecting a nice room decoration; but it plays really well and sounds better than expected.

Great value for the money.

Was expected a better quality overall but I am ok with it

I was a bit disappointed from this guitar while it was very beautiful it was weird when you looked closely.the neck pickup is put not straight on the body.The guitar arrived with a small hit on back of the neck which was painted over.i guess was a factory accident.The bridge is not ready to play.you need to remove the cloth .it is playlable and easy to play.has a nice feel.it produces nice acoustic and plugged in tone.jazz tone for sure.I think the price should be less for the quality of this guitar though.

Good for the price

It has some tiny manufacturing mistakes but it sounds awesome! Worth the price if you would like a cool jazz guitar in your collection to experiment. But I would not suggest this guitar to a beginner player.

Great guitar for the price

The look of the guitar is really amazing and there are no imperfections in the finish. The fretboard is really comfortable and the neck is not too thick (like in some guitars of this type). The Trem system works well and the pots are solid and not noisy when turned. The sound of the pickups is pretty good(considered the price) both on the clean and the distorted sound. The only bad thing is that the pickups have an annoying background buzz when they are not played. In conclusion a really great guitar for the price and with a change of pickups I think it can be at the level of other really famous and expensive guitars

Nice guitar for a price

I was tempted for some time, to get archtop guitar. I'm playing for 40 years now, I own several acoustic and electric guitars and also one hollow body LP shape. But I never really had archtop and the jazzy sound of it. I wasn't prepare to spend a lot, since I'm no pro and music is my hobby, not living. So I decided, after reading several reviews, to go and get this guitar. For me at that price, THE most important thing is quality of body and neck, all the rest can be easily replaced if needed. 200? is a gamble, I was willing to take blind.

When I received this guitar, i was pleasantly surprised. Just what I wanted (well, stil can not compare to Ibanez George Benson that I had oportunity to play) and expected. I have read in advance of all the bigsby problems, bridge problems, so I immediately unscrew top part of bigsby, put some wood under it and flattened the angle to bridge - the design is kind of silly, but managable. The only thing really annoying is the pickups, that buzz in their seats, so I guess I'll have to take the out, see the spring coil and adapt.

Neck is great, straight, in tune - if not, brige is adjustable, bigsby does it's job, not the greatest, but I have never used it before and have no technique so it's all right for me.

Without amp this guitar sounds nice and jazzy, just like I expected. It's very solid built and quite heavy.

With amp, (I use Fender Mustang) and with proper amp sound set, i prefer to use clean Fender Twin that sound great with this guitar, from jazz to rockabilly.

Pickups are nice sounding low output. tuners are ok., doing their job and keeping intonation.

All in all, I'm a happy camper.

After owning it half a year, I still like this guitar a lot. Adjusted some height of pickups to my liking, the rest is good.

7/10

I have been waiting for this guitar like a kid.

Really, I was so anxious about this beauty.

The quality is Okay for the price, it's a really nice instrument.

Impressive by it's size, and the fine details.

Great sound on it's on even when unplugged.

The bigsby (whammy bar thing) is a lot of fun.

Guitar gets out of tune quite often, the bigsby is not aligned perfectly and... ***The bridge, is not drilled into the body, at all.. I mean if you replace strings, the bridge will fall off, and it doesn't stands againts the tension bar, the whole is placed awkardly getting pulled by the tesion of the strings.

The white color is a true eye candy, lots of compliments.

Overall, the guitar is really well built (Except hardware), I recommend on it because I would say for the price, it is really coo.

The humbuckers on that guitar are surprisingly good

Beautiful tuners heads.

The golded parts loses their color a bit after 3-4 months

BUY IT

fantastic value

This is a great guitar for the price. it looks great with the tremolo and roller bridge. It is big if you are small framed it may feel a little too big but big is fine by me.

I was very impressed by the quality. I wasn't expecting much from this guitar but it played great out of the box even intonation almost bang on. action pretty good too. I was even more impressed by the sound plugged in it sounded awesome. plenty of tonal choice with the electronics, you can get sounds from jazz to rock within a few tweaks. there is a little string rattle but not noticeable through the amp. there are imperfections with the finish but you will always get that with this price range.

overall I would recommend this guitar to intermediate players or beginners that gave someone to do setup work if needed.
