Harley Benton CST-24T Emerald Flame

Bargain

Everything you could possibly want from an electric guitar at a fraction of the price. Simply incredible value for money.

Charlie's CST24T

I've played this guitar on several songs with my band, and I love the way it sounds. It has a solid feel and sound with some warmth to it even when playing some heavier songs. I highly recommend this guitar for anyone looking for a high-quality instrument at an affordable price.

Nice guitar.

Sounds good ,plays good, looks good, covers all the bases.

Buy one.

Beautiful guitar, plays just as well as it looks. Smooth frets, not overly heavy but solid. I’m not sure how they can sell these at this cost.

Great Guitar

Buy one great guitar for the price!

Amazing Value!

I bought this as a guitar i could leave in our rehearsal room and it did not disappoint! Great features with the ability to coil tap the pickups and a really high quality Emerald Flame finish. Good sounding pickups and nice to use.

Sure it doesn't play like my PRS but then it is 1/10th of the price !

In summary it is a fantastic buy and well worth considering if you are on a budget or need a decent back up instrument.

great guita.

when i got this guitar i was 1st amazed by the green emerald top.

i did a good check over of the guitar and found no flaws what-so-ever.

and when i plugged it in and played it, i was excited as can be with the quality of the sound i heard. in fact i hated to admit it but, it played as good as my les paul. stays in tune every time. great guitar!

WOW!

I absolutely love love love this guitar!

It's my very first HB guitar that I have bought but it'll definitely not be my last. It's gorgeous, it sound amazing and has awesome features.

The choice was between this colour and a Paradise Flame but I am very glad that I picked the Emerald Green one. It's absolutely gorgeous with a stunning finish and I cannot complement it enough! Put it together with a purple strap and you have a perfect quirky "The Joker" finish.

Let's get serious though for a second, there's a lot of good reviews out there, both on the website and on Youtube and I can only tell you that they are telling the truth. My guitar when it arrived already had a very good action, no sharp frets - and get this: it was in tune! -

I just took it out of the box and started playing and couldn't put it down.

The pickups are great and I love the pull-push switch to get a single coil out of a humbucker. Rock, Metal, Blues and Clean, this guitar can do it all.

I am seriously happy with my purchase and together with my freshly ordered Boss Katana MKII 100, there's no song, no genre that safe from us anymore.

Listen to your gut, it's always right and get this guitar! ;-)

Wow!

I wanted a PRS style guitar, and had seen this in green and thought it looked pretty good. And for £230, it seemed like a good buy - You tubers were giving the CST-24T rave reviews, so I thought I'd try it.

It took a while to get here, as they seem to be quite popular. I think I waited about 7 or 8 weeks for mine.

It arrived, and after a quick setup, a stretch of the strings, reduce the action and check the intonation, it was ready to go. And boy, did it go.

The Roswell pickups are brilliant, although I find the bridge pickup has a little too much treble for my ear, but easily fixed by rolling off the tone knob.

It has all the tones you need for a humbucking guitar, and will easily coil-split if you want them to.

Downsides? There aren't many, especially for the cost; but for my 2p's worth, here are a couple of things I might do with mine:

Change out the tuners. They're pretty good, but the ratio is something like 14:1, which for me means it's sometimes tricky to get the tuning done quickly. May swap them for a set of 18:1 locking tuners.

Change the knobs from the chrome silver ones to black cylindrical ones. I think the silver ones are a bit too much "in your face".

These are just my preference, but you could leave it as stock, and have no downsides at all.

Finally, I have a PRS SE Custom 24, and I compared the two. The difference? About £600. The CST24 stands up very well against the PRS. The PRS, in my opinion is better, but is it £600 better? No, I don't think so.

Combine the CST24 with a Harley Benton Tube15 and you've got a small gig-ready setup that'll give you almost everything you need for under £500. Throw in a couple of pedals, and you're good to go.

If you've read this far, just go buy one. It's a proper guitar for proper guitarists.

Simply can not be beat at this price.

An incredible guitar at this price point. Would easily be a $500 to $600 guitar if it had a different name on the headstock. Pick ups may feel a bit hot but manageable for sure. Only noticeable issue is the nut was cut a bit short on the bass side but this does not effect the feel and at this price is a very minor detail. The finish is incredible and the cream binding and pick up rings compliment the deep emerald green oh so well. Easily has become my number one standard and drop D guitar.
