Harley Benton BigTone Trem White 5-stars Reviews
Big tone, big value
Impressive build quality and finish, jazz,blues and indie tones are easily dialled in.
Fittings are good and overall it's good value for money
Wonderful guitar
Everything out the box was perfect
Love it
Beginner player, guitar sounds lovely
Great Learning Guitar
Could use a little design adjustment with the bridge but nothing major.
Great quality build!
Get this guitar
I bought this guitar internationally and had it shipped to Australia while I was there for a year for work.
I played it every day and one of my biggest regrets is that I had to leave it there. Considering buying another now I'm back in the UK. It's a beautiful guitar and you won't regret buying it for a moment
Big tone white vintage trem
If you want a guitar like this straight out of the box amazing quality and build is great I've tried the G guitars and actually not as good and the B trem works so well you will not be disappointed if you get this guitar it's great 5 stars out of four 😀
Best Guitar
This is my 2nd HB guitar and my favourite so far. The body is beautifully made and it is a thing of beauty.
Amazing
Sounds amazing plays amazing and looks amazing
Super guitar
This review will be very short because all I can say is that this guitar is very very cool!
It looks like very expensive Gretch! All white with gold! Really impressive!
You may think it sounds not bad but... it actually sounds super cool! I don't know how they made this low price guitar sound SO good but it does! I played it in the bar the day I received it. It was all fixed well with D'addario strings onboard. With my Hughes&Kettner pedal it sounded just fantastic! Overdrive and distortion made it sound even better!
Now my dream about buying Gretch is fulfilled with this guitar!
I'm happy with it and I recommend everyone who loves this Gretch sound to buy this very guitar!
WOW - Top Quality - Nostalgic
Overall, excellent build quality, good finish
I am very happy with it, playable and enjoyable.
I am considering replacing the pickups, because:
- annoying hum (almost disappears when touching the strings)
- high E string suspiciously low volume compared to the other strings
As good as Epi Royale (Emperor swingster)
Very surprised at the quality if this guitar, have had the Royale which this copies, and the feel is very similar. Good heft to it, it not a lightweight item and solid. Very few guitars I miss, and this one and the original are two of them.
Great Guitar
I bought the guitar and I love it. the tone is incredible. The binding is nice.
Masterpiece
I love sitting and looking at this beautiful guitar. Plays very well for the price and looks great on a stand in a room.
Awesome jazz box
I bought this from Canada because it was a beauty and steal of a deal. The tremolo held tube if you string it above the roller bar. I was very impressed, this was just as good as a golden falcon at a tenth of the price! I found that the body was too thick for me to see the neck as I am a big man ( belly wise !lol). That was my only con about this guitar and it is not a big one. This is a great guitar, you want early Cult sound then this is where it starts!
Great instrument - affordable beauty !!
I use this piece already for some years now and it is great! Again, there are so many much better archtop performers out there but the wallet cries a thousand tears.... Hence, for its league is one of the best you could get.
- sounds good, looks good, tremolo responds nicely and you make a difference on stage (if that's another element to chose).
I strongly recommend it
nice for the price
It came in the mail in 5 days in two boxes.Boxes didnt have any dents or tears so that was nice.There are very few flaws in the paint work I only noticed them under magnified glasses. It is pretty smooth and nice to the touch all the frets filed down , nothing sharp sticking out. So far it plays nice and seems to keep tune. IT is a really beautiful guitar at any price . I got it for under 300 bucks and its worth every penny
HB Bog Tone Trem
When the guitar arrived the box had some damage and I was nervous that the guitar may be damaged but when opened the guitar was inside a second box that was not damaged, so I was happy to see that the guitar was perfect. This guitar does not disappoint with its looks, with all gold hardware it equals much more expensive guitars of a similar design. I was surprised that the guitar is quite heavy, also giving a feeling of quality, The guitar came fully tuned and could be played out of the box. After a week of playing the strings seem settled in and it holds tune after trem use. I have seen stories of leaning bridges due to the steep attack angle of the strings from the trem to the bridge, but my bridge is level even after a reasonable time of playing, maybe the problem has been addressed. I have checked the frets and find a few high frets mainly at their outer ends, causing some string buzzing on the Low E string, and a damped high E string at the 14th fret, I have ordered a set of flat wound strings to try , and will do the frets when I change the strings. I also ordered the recommended hard case for this guitar that has no problems. I can highly recommend this guitar to anyone who like me just love hollow body guitars, for its price it is a steal. Next step will be a better amp, already added to my wish list.
Blown away by the "new Hohner", Harley Benton
I have never felt such a healing effect on me as when I hung this guitar around my neck and played an A-chord; unemplified. This piece of art to my opinion sets a new era for music making: the brand Harley Benton, in guitars, might well be the rolls royce of tomorrow.
Best, Robin.
big tone

Ready to rock
Just unpacked my BigTone.
In perfect condition. They packed it and the case I bought in one box with plenty of packing material.
Thrilled with the product.
