Harley Benton Custom Line ResoKing BK 5-stars Reviews

A guitar that sounds as if it should be at least £600

I was not expecting miracles from this guitar to tell you the truth but as usual Harley Benton amazes. How do they do it? It sounds great as an acoustic and with the pickups. The finish is perfect and the set up out of the box is really good (I just had to change the strings for my favourite set). All in all you cannot get this quality for the price anywhere else.

Surprisingly good.

So I just unboxed this guitar and after very close inspection, I can only say this build quality goes far beyond the price you pay. You definitely feel as though you're playing something much more costly. Finish is perfect, fretwork is very good though a good fret polish is needed; action and intonation are just about spot on. It plays very well and it may not be a high end instrument but it definitely gives me the tones only a resonator can (good enough to record convincingly) at a fraction of the normal cost. The only downside are the tuners which are quite stiff and will be replaced, but they still work well enough for use at home. Be careful which shipping method you choose, I inadvertantly chose UPS instead of DHL...it arrived within 3 days to Canada but the charges were about $40 higher AND they hit me for an additional $112 CDN for duty! They are vultures. I would rather have waited the extra week, I could have bought another HB with the difference. Still, happy with all 4 of my HB instruments and will surely wind up with a couple more, I'll just be sure to double check the shipping method at checkout.

Amazing value, a solid well made instrument. I would not hesitate to purchase again

Lovely but quiet

This is a a peachy guitar. Looks amazing, sounds great & plays easy. Really quiet compared to most acoustic resonators. More like an electric guitar so it needs amplification

Love this guitar, acoustic sounds great but it's a beast once it's plugged in. Highly recommended. I may have to buy another reso

This thing is is amazing!

Love the sound!

For the price point, you couldn't find anything to compare!

It would give a good run against most mid-range major brand names as well!

Feels good in the hand, fat (baseballey)neck reminds me of an older Tele.

What resonance!

Love it!

MAXIMUM BANG FOR THE BUCK!

CRAFTSMANSHIP, BUILD, QUALITY, FINISH, INTONATION, A TOTAL PACKAGE OF VALUE AND PLAYABILITY!

Best of both worlds

This guitar is great plugged in and unplugged. The action and setup is somewhere between an acoustic and electric. I am not a fan of the 70s deluxe LP pickups, but the Roswell pickup sounds great and the piezo is a perfect match for it.

what a unique guitar

Very easy to play. Sounds great acoustically. Looks awesome. I got this guitar looking to learn slide guitar and alternate tunings. The sound made it really fun to try. Highly recommend to those who play that style guitar. Don't try to play low volume distortion. The two sounds are weird together.

Gorgeous instrument

Fantastic tone and playability and excellent manufacturing,

An excellent guitar

Incredible guitar, and a very fast and efficient shipment. I'm from Colombia and it arrived after 3 weeks. I'm very happy with the guitar sound and quality.

Twang for your buck

The build quality for the amount of money on this guitar is unbelievable. It looks great, it sounds great, it plays great. Perfect for the band I'm going to use it in.

Really Nice

This instrument was received flawless all the way to polished and smooth fret ends. Easy to play. Has a nice tone and sound to it but if you're looking for that delta swamp sound - this aint it.

Wow!

straight from the box, intonation is spot on, very little setup was required. I will be changing the strings to a slightly heavier gauge for my style of playing..folks, you can't go wrong with this guitar and you fo' sho can't beat the price.

Great Guitar

Received the guitar with another one and started playing immediately. Incredible value for the price.

not just a pretty face

This was a punt and bought on a whim but im more than happy with it.

I'm not a bluegrass or country player but just loved the look of this guitar. The amplified sound is not for me and i dont know if it will ever be gigged but its on a stand in my house in DADGAD and plays beautifully as an acoustic instrument.

Did i mention that its pretty to look at? :)

lovely finish and seems to both play well and stay in tune. great build quality and came well set up with no apparent faults, I've had it about 6 months now and its hard to walk past this in my house without picking it up and playing it. Highly recomended

As Tony would say, it`s gggrrrrrrreeeeaaaat

Lovely instrument to play, nice resonator sound accoustically and

what high quality for such a low price.

It`s the only instrument so far I took out of the box and didn`t have to tinker with the set up. It was set up perfect.
