Exceeds expectations

The features it provided for the price are very good, Grover tuners, The guitar was setup very well and I didnt feel any feature which made me feel that they had to cut any corners to sell it for the msrp. I wish my country had a Harley benton dealer so I could buy more without dealing with the customs and stuff

Nice looking guitar with a dull sound

First, the good part - I love the looks, and it's made fairly well. No fret sprouts, the binding is decent, and the action is low. The only quality issue was that the bridge was not properly grounded (the wire was just hanging in the cavity unattached), so I had to fix it myself, which wasn't too hard.

Features-wise, I'd like to have coil split push-pull. I think the recent versions already have it, though mine didn't.

Now the complaints. It's the sound. Compared to all my other guitars, this one sounded dull, dark, flat, and uninspiring. Because I liked it otherwise, I tried changing the pups: tried various humbuckers and even a set of Phat Cats (which sounded fantastic on my Epiphone Les Paul) - nothing helped. I managed to get out of it more or less decent high-gain metal tones, but it could not do anything else properly.

the guitar arrived, there are no external problems, the instrument looks great, but the contact in it leaves and because of this it does not work

My favorite guitar to play

I love the feel of the DC Custom Cherry neck. This guitar is the one that looks the best hanging on my wall and the one I reach for the most. It started with a great action set up, but I have been able to easily fine tune the action to just where I like it.

Can't find fault with it.

Had this guitar for a year now and still can't find fault with it.

Great finish, nice slim neck, Grover tuners,. Coil splitting, stays in tune well and was playable right out of the box.

No adjustments needed and an amazing bargain for just over £200 pounds.

Go get one.

Great Guitar

This plays really well with a bit of setting up. Great sustain and excellent tone. had to move strap button to mid neck position.

AC/DC 1970's what a beauty

Love the guitar is really great for the money I have a range of top branded guitars and this bad boy matches them really well.

I had to change the string when it arrived as they were pretty dead and also a few screws loss of worn but I have sorted them.

over all for the money and comparing to the epiphope it is way better fro the money.

The sound is amazing I have been running it with my blackstar 6l6 and tone is smoking hot
