Harley Benton EX-76 Classic AN

Very good for the price

I Love This Guitar

After changing strings, adjusting the neck and string height, and checking intonation, this thing felt like one of those guitars you are playing the coolest solo in one of your dreams. You know, the ones that when you wake up you are pissed because it was a dream and in the dream you thought “I finally made it” because you didn’t even have to concentrate on your playing. Haha well maybe not that good but this guitar is smooth like that…after you set it up.

HB 76 Explorer Style Guitar

A real nice and affordable guitar for the money. It plays nice, it was intonated and has a nice ripping sound. A no brainer.

5 Stars Overall.

Expectacular guitar for the price

I have been watching the evolution of quality of Harley Benton and ihave to say that Thonman will be one of the best guitar store. In conclusion i will buy another Harley Benton .

My first Harley Benton guitar.

Been seeing a lot of videos lately on YouTube on the Harley Benson guitars and saw this explorer style guitar and thought I would pick it up. Took about 5 days to get to California which is pretty cool. Once i took it out of the box everything looked good. The setup on it was actually pretty decent. Very minimal fret sprout. Could easily be taken care of with a file. Overall, the guitar feels great. For the money, I don't think there's any better value out there. The guitar just needs a little work on the nut to be perfect and a little bit work on the fret ends and this guitar can compete with almost anything. Originally I was going to put some Gibson classic 57 pickups but I think the pickup's on there pretty solid. The pickups are a little hot so I lower them a little bit and they sound pretty good. I'm really amazed at the quality and the finish of the product. Although it does need some work but that's to be expected at this price point. But the amount of work it needs to play great is very minimal which is amazing. I would totally buy this again.

Ex 76 is a good guitar!

It is not expensive, but very well guitar!

There is a good sound, nice clean and great heavy!

I'm happy.

BANG FOR THE BUCK

well setup out of the box.

Looks amazing no cosmetic defects

Sound could use an upgrade but overall for an intermediate player it's a good option.

For the money, this is a unique explorer shape guitar

The most pleasing thing is, of course, the appearance, the guitar looks just gorgeous and clearly worth the money. The frets don't scratch, which is very cool for me, considering that the Fender, which costs the same money, does not handle frets so well. Of course, she has her own problems.

Personally, I don't have any serious problems that could somehow interfere with using it, but cosmetic problems are not so few.

The most that upset me was the smeared fret on the side, the tree apparently split off and this place was filled with paint in the color of the neck, it is not felt with a finger and does not interfere in any way, but still a little unpleasant. The next obvious problem is how the pickguard was cut, there were so many small pieces sticking out, I just sanded them off and everything seemed to be fine. Well, not a significant small bubble of varnish is located next to the neck pocket, but it is completely invisible. And to be honest, the only thing I want to replace is the tone and volume knobs, there is a big bubble in the tone knob, and all the knobs are very worn out, but I don't think this is a big problem, this is very easy to solve.

About the pickups I can’t say either anything bad or nothing good (for the price it’s not bad that it’s not a noun sound), the electronics are all in working order, everything turns and switches.

The wood is selected and glued very well, the joints of the wood are certainly not striking. We are very pleased with Grover locking tuners who do their job.

The most important thing that I would like to note is how the guitar was packed, there is very little foam, literally a couple of pieces of paper so that the guitar does not fly all over the box and that's it ... I honestly was very surprised when I opened the package, but thank God everything was whole and without a single chip

Even the fact that this guitar has such minor cosmetic problems, which, of course, are related to its price, the guitar made me very happy and I hope it will please for a very long time. If you want to try how the shape of the explorer feels, then this is definitely your version with which you will not go wrong, but keep in mind that minimal cosmetic problems can be

Great budget guitar

It plays great and stays in tune fairly well.

The satin neck is easily dealt with using the rough side of a sponge. The pickups arent great, and there's some neck dive. the last small thing is that the front strap button is on an odd angle so that the strap-end is also at a pretty sharp angle.

Despite all of this, its a great guitar for the price and I'd definitely recomend it for the price if you want the explorer shape

It impresses and inspires me to play

Great workmanship, great sound. The impression is better than the more expensive guitars I have. I play it at home studio. So far I have not experienced any buzzing, creaking or strange sounds. The workmanship is at a high level, my model has no bad workmanship details. The wood looks great. Neck too, Pots don't creak. So far I have no objections. Real rock guitar.
