Harley Benton Custom Line ResoKing BK 4-stars Reviews
Cool guitar to experiment with
If you're looking for a guitar case, the Epiphone wildcat case fits this almost perfectly.
my first
My first electric guitar and I must say pretty amazed for what you get for the price. A decend guitar available for everybody. Makes me think when the old bluesmen started of with cheap but not the less, good instruments. Anyhow it's the person behind the thing who has to do it.
Good
Easy to adjust thruss rod, and that had to be done. Pickups good. Neck has a nice vintage-feeling to it, same shape as on my 1966 Framus 12 string in a way. Finish looks great.
Only prob is a buss on surtain notes, something is not 100% in the mounting of the resonator part. But cannot be heard through pickups, and I will look into it. It must be a loose screw or something.
For the money it is unbelievable.
Excellent for the money.
I am pleased with this , given the price, I added a preamp to the piezo pickup and it now sounds a lot better, it is now easier to blend it with the mini humbucker pickup, I will change the piezo for a Shadow piezo and possibly the humbucker for a Belcat pickup and it will sound brilliant.
Nice Resonator for the money
Been wanting to get a resonator for a while want to do some learning on it for study jazz guitar for a while and this is a nice entry level guitar for what I want to do, did some reading on this people have been saying they have improved the sound quality by changing strings and nut which I plan to do, and some have changed the tuners on it and said it made it great.
Set Up
Basicly this instrument is satisfactory but the action is too high and should have shipped with a better set up!
Universal
Good for those who are starting to play the guitar. You can play acoustic as well as electrically. It gives a lot of pleasure to play with her sound. There are also missing guitars, but the store exchanges them efficiently. It hit me so bad, damaged saddle. I changed quickly and efficiently. Do not demand perfection for this price. Get a good and solid "toy" to learn and play.
Prize for this kind of money!
So, it has a shorter scale than I?d like, but the sound quality is great! Wood and details are not something they cared a lot for while manufacturing this guitar, but in the end it became a solid instrument for a starter in this category!
Overall its nice
Looks: Amazing its a les paul resonator I mean come on
Sound: The two pickups together can get a crazy amount of tones and there are some really sweet spots.
Finish: Nothing wrong anywhere, a few drips in lacquer but I dont care about that at all.
Set up: This is where it gets bad. I had out of the box the 3rd fret E B And G string sounded like a sitar, and not in the good way. I got my file out and did a little truss rod work and its fine now but its clear that quality control needs to be improved. In fact I would have paid 20 euro more if they would have just levelled the frets right in the factory before sending :L
Overall: I'm happy (aside from that fret which looks like crap from my bad filing job lol)
loving it.
This guitar is great. I have given it 4 star for quality as I have noticed some very minor final finishing floors. But wow, I am enjoying this guitar so much and it is currently one of my favourites to play about with. Lovely sound, lovely looking and great sounding.
Great sounds
Played straight out of the box. Well set-up and still in tune!
Interesting sounds. That metallic "jangle" from piezo pu and LP "crunch" from the humbucker. Versatile guitar.
Love it!
godsmacked
loved this guitar, the look, the sound, very impressed, was not expecting such a lovely
bit of work, I have to say when I played this in our band everyone was jealous
you just need to buy this guitar
