Harley Benton CST-24T LH Black Flame Reviews

bad fret work

let down by very bad fret work not finnished properly

like bending strings on sandpaper and some of the frets were low and some were high

so i had to level and polish them

but the rest of the guitar was great'

i should have sent it back ..

Great Quality, Great Price

Used for the past 2 months now, had no issues. Sounds great just on some base settings on most plugins. Coil splitter is an amazing feature for the price. Can’t complain about anything.

Love this guitar!

The attention to detail that the builder(s) of this guitar made is up there with any high end guitar manufacturer. I love playing this guitar. It feels light in the hands but at the same time, it also feels solid. The neck is perfect to hold! The pickups surprised me - they sound really good! I definitely would recommend this guitar to anyone on any level.

Never expected this amazing value !!

This guitar have its place among my others high end and expensive guitars!

Misleading info

This is an excellent low-priced guitar. Having to upgrade the components will raise your initial investment to the price of a standard guitar. But for an entry level beginners guitar it can't be beat. I decided to replace my pickups with a better set, and came to find out that this guitar has misleading advertising. It's listed as having a Mahogany, while the top is Flame Maple. I can verify that the body is indeed a Mahogany type, as I was expanding the knob holes to fit my new pots. But as I was scraping away I noticed that there is a thin white layer where the maple top should be. My determination is, the Maple top is a wood-like vinyl sticker. To have a real maple top paper-thin, would be illogical as any tonal qualities would be lost to the thinness, and would be cost prohibitive for these types of guitars. Disappointed, but not unexpected.

love it

Good looking Guitar - Great Price

This was purchased on behalf of a friend, so being a right-handed player, I can't really comment on the playability. Sounds good. Solid build quality although a few setup issues. But for under 200€, It's an excellent value.

very good guitar!!!

This guitars was a good surprise. For this price, it is good quality. were your a left handed guitarist it is good to have guitars affordable. It simply sounds good and feels good.

Very good guitar for the money.

Overall a very good guitar for the money. A little more detail could have been paid to the fret work and set up. It is in my opinion a close comparison to the PRS SE for 1/4 of the cost.

Solid

It's my first guitar purchase, and so far it has performed really well. Only drawback might be that the tremolo bar is not fixed already, so you'd have to either go to a guitar store and get it done or [if you're experienced enough] do it yourself.

Grateful

As a Lefty I am truly Grateful to to have found this guitar.I own a lot of name brand guitars but this one is as good as any i have.It will be on stage with me as one of three that i carry.The tone is warmer than the PRS that I own but that is what I like about it.The cut is better than the PRS SE and the Black Flame is beautiful.The CST 24 LH caught my eye,that's how I first choose a guitar.

Great guitar at any price

Plays god. Feels god. What more can you ask. And at this price? You dont need to be "authentic" to sound good...

Very impressed !

Had to do some setting up, nut height, action, truss rod, etc...

After this, great guitar!

Yes, better tuners would help, a lot, but I've got a box full of those.

This guitar is seriously good value!

I will be buying another to swap pickups to P90's.

wish there were more "lefty" options.
