Cannot get better for the money

Decent guitar for the price , came in perfect condition right out of the box. Just tune it and ready to play right away! Will be getting more harley bentons for sure!!

Superb guitar

A very good instrument.

Good sound and comfortable fretboard. Good quality at an affordable price.

CST P90

Amazing guitar,plays and sounds like it should have cost way more than it does!

My favourite guitar right now

Love this piece of kit from Harley Benton. Definitely my favourite guitar right now! Quality build and the sound from those Roswells is unreal.

Fantastic looking and sounding

Looking for something in this body shape for this value and with these features this is difficult to beat.

With P90s to add to the collection, it stands out in all the right ways in terms of sound and versatility. The Ocean Flame finish is even better in-person and makes it difficult to put down.

Add on stainless steel frets and the quality of the overall finish, it's a fantastic overall guitar, well worth the money and more!

Beautiful Guitar!!

Harley Benton does it again! A+++

Awesome

Love the quality and build. After a year of not being played was still intune. P90 PUs are as good sounding as my PRS P90s. Great value

Good as they come

This guitar played perfectly right out of the box. It needed no adjustments. It stays in tune and plays smoothly. I may even buy it again in another color.

Fantastic guitar

This is the 24 fret guitar with p90s. High quality body and neck, hardware works great, and pickups sound fine. The veneer top has a beautiful grain. The instrument plays well and is comfortable and balanced.

Punches well above its weight

Had a PRS SE custom and didn’t like it. Stayed away from PRS double cut type guitars until saw reviews of this HB. Love P90’s too. Quality build, neck feels great and term works and stays in tune. Love the color and flame!

Gobsmacked

It's a bit of a crap shoot with Harley Bentons, and just before ordering this guitar I returned one, but if you get a good one it will compare favorably to a guitar 3 times the price.

This CST24t P90 is wonderful. I can't find any flaws and it arrived set up nicely....better than most Fenders or Gibsons I've bought. It's very light weight and the pickups sound great. I've had many dozens of guitars over the years including Fender, Gibson, PRS and Gretsch and this little Harley Benton rates very well in comparison.

A keeper for sure.

Look no further for a P90 PRS style guitar on a budget!

Fit / finish and quality, this guitar is simply amazing for the price!

Anyone interested in getting into a P90 guitar for a fraction of the cost look no further! The Roswell P90's sound great!

There's nothing I would replace on this guitar, but you can if you're a "modder" and would like to experiment or up-tick certain areas, but it's completely un-necessary. Some might want locking tuning pegs...

Or some might want to replace the bridge pickup with a humbucker that fits. I might do that if I find myself wanting more crunch since I don't have a lot of guitars in my shop. But again, it's un-necessary at this point for me.

Note: I'm a bass guitar luthier and know what it takes to build / finish an instrument.

Lovely guitar.

No cosmetic issues found.

The tremolo was set non floating, which was easily fixed. Nut would benefit from lowering a tad, but is still playable.

Tuners are adequate, but could be bettered.

Lovely guitar.

Texas-size Love for This Guitar

This is the second Harley Benton I've had shipped here to San Antonio, Texas. The first was a TE-40 Tele-style. Nice instrument, but nothing compared to this one. I love the P90s. The guitar itself is gorgeous. Came out of the box undamaged and perfectly set-up - ready to play despite the fact that it had to endure shipment from Europe. Action was low, no fret sprout, no buzzing frets, decent tuners, intonation good. I've been playing for nearly 60 years and currently own over 30 electrics, so I know good. I bought a Gibson Les Paul 50s gold top at the same time I bought this one. I'm not saying the CST-24T P90 is as good as the Les Paul (it's not), but I find myself playing it about as much as the LP primarily due to the different sound of the P90s. Of the two HBs I've purchased, I'm impressed with Harley Benton's quality and playability. I also bought an $850 Epiphone '61 SG at the same time I bought this Harley Benton and the Gibson Les Paul, and the HB had much better fret work than the Epi. Even with international shipping charges, Harley Benton guitars are a great value considering the quality of the guitar.

Glorious

Versatile, beautifully made and a joy for even a sausage fingered buffoon like myself to play. The finish is perfect and the setup was great out of the box. Trying to find negatives and all I can come up with is the tuners are a little lumpy but that's it. Very happy.

Awesome quality, regardless the price.

Everything is perfect. The only downside is a that you have to use the middle position on very heavy distortion, otherwise there is noise from the p 90's.

Awesome quitar in any other case..

An excellent all rounder

I have always bought and played traditional style guitars, however, due to the P 90 pickups, which I have been wanting to try, I decided to buy this guitar.

Firstly, the buying experience itself was excellent, along with fast delivery. The instrument is a looker, and I also love the shape. The sound is so good, has a great biting tone once you set your amp and volume & tone controls. It’s unlike other instruments I own, in both looks and tone, therefore, it’s a perfect purchase. This is my current go to guitar as it is so versatile. It also stays in tune very well. The only thing I have changed are the control knobs, as this is a modern shape, so I’ve swapped out the ‘tele style’ knobs for some spare modern style ones that I had.

I actually cannot fault anything, from quality, price, playability. This is a bargain for the price, I’m really pleased with it, very impressed!

Awesome

Fantastic guitar for peanuts, great tonality in the p90s with quite some bark if turned up.

One high fret which needs sorting, but nothing comes close at this price point.

Beautiful looking to boot!

Awesome guitar for this price

First of all, this guitar looks very beautiful, this color is Just amazing. The sound of guitar is also very good both on clean and overdrive channels, especially for this money. Guitar has a nice tremolo system, that won't put your strings out of tune. The tuners are nice and accurate. Volume and tone knobs are The one flaw I've noticed, some frets are not polished very vell, but against the rest of advantages the guitar has, it's just trivia
