Harley Benton DC-600 VI Vintage Series 1-star Reviews

I got the bad one

when I bought the guitar I also paid for set-up to change string gauge (with 0.12 strings that I also bought) which also included electronics check,

got the guitar and it doesn't work, only buzzing and humming sounds.

Can't play the guitar at all and I need to pay a technician in my country to repair my *brand new guitar* because shipping it back and forth will cost me even more money then repair it myself.

Also the frets are not smooth to play, the neck is bended and the tuning pegs are loose.

Really wanted to love this one

I was the unfortunate one who got a bad one

I own many HB guitars all perfect 5 stars… with the exception of the one I wanted to love the most the DC600VI SG. I always wanted a real one but to pricey, this was a dream when I saw HB made one. The back of the neck is bumpy, the best way to describe it. Not smooth as a neck needs to be. Not sure what happened as the paint covers up the issues. If cut by a CNC machine something went wrong. The guitar other than that looks great but it’s simply uncomfortable to play with humps and bumps. Let’s see if HB addresses this. I’ve owned it for a year and tried to ignore the neck, but it simply doesn’t feel good in the hands I’m a player of 50 years now, so not un experienced. To be clear I love Harley Bentons!, the DG Strat I received is better than any real fender I have ever owned! The Guitar bass I received is equally better than fenders similar offering. Intonation when adjusted by me Perfect! Fenders have an issue.

Unfortunately a bust

Sadly, the quality control on this was terrible. There were several dead frets and a lot of fret sprouting. The action was high but the bridge was very difficult to lower. Also, the machine head on the low E string was mis-drilled and the screw will not hold in place. On top of that, one of the strap bottoms came loose and won’t tighten and the 3-way toggle is very sticky and hard to switch. I was very disappointed.
