cst-24

this was my first harley benton but it wont be my last. a nice suprise

This guitar is looks really good and above all, sounds really nice too. You can compare this to a 1000 pound PRS or Gibson and you probably get the same quality and sound. the flame top looks amazing and you can really see the grain. I love the push pull tone knob, which gives you a wide range of tone. the alnico V humbuckers provide clear sound along with a really heavy full mahogany body for a darker sound. The bridge is really comfortable.

I have had this guitar for a month and only tuned it twice, it has really good tuning stability.

The tiny bad thing about it is there were some mistakes on the finish and the binding, and the input jack is really loose.

For this value, this is the best you will get.

Great quality instruments

The instruments arrived in awesome condition and I was blown away by the stock sound quality! I have no complaints with any products, and can't wait to buy more gear!!!! Shipping to me was fast (7 days to the us)!!

GREAT GUITARS

great value for money ive just bought another Harley Benton SC-550 Lemon Drop to night these guitars are really great good set up out of box i just hope no rough fret ends on latest purchase but fingers crossed that to me was only flaw in the paradise but all in all aaaaaaaaaaa guitar

Great Value For The Money

I've had this for two months before reviewing it, in order to write an accurate review of it.

I have used it in a band situation and at home, also in studio. The guitar has no problems tuning, the only part that deserves a modification is the bridge, cause you can't set the intonation properly, due to the type. The guitar is very clear and articulate, the pickups are very good for rock, blues, clean playing, but I'll have them replaced due to personal preference later on (the factory ones are great nevertheless!).

The finish is very very very good, it has just one very small misalignment on the body binding, but you'll see it only if you hold the guitar and examine it. The action came pretty high for my tastes, therefore I had to play with the bridge a bit. It holds its tuning better than my $600 Jackson KVX guitar when switching from inside to outside (in case of live playing). If you want to get this guitar to professional levels, I advise a bridge and tuners change (bridge with dedicated intonation control per string).

All in all, if you are looking for a great body with great sound, or maybe a modding platform, or maybe a cheaper Reed Smith but without compromising much of the quality, this guitar is for you. I recommend the tremolo version, though, because of the lower action on the higher frets.

One more thing worth noting - this guitar really delivers. I was skeptical of the other reviews at first, but I've convinced myself after having it in my possession for a month and a bit - my friend who tried it said it plays better than his Gibson SG Custom (price well over $2000), so this guitar, with a bit of caress and attention, will deliver great quality and for this price it's a bargain. I'm surprised on the fact that not as many people as it should be are buying and using them. I'd love custom options on Harley Benton guitars (like a custom shop).

Don't hesitate buying, if you don't like it (which I doubt), you have warranty and 30-days to return it.

Good quality

I own two Harley Benton guitars, this and a ST-70 ROSEWOOD DELUXE. I love both of them, but this one is my favorite.

It looks and sounds good, is a joy to play, and it doesn't break the bank. Highly recommended!
