Harley Benton Extreme-84 Progressive Series Reviews

Great for its price

Saw this one with active pickups, bought it and it's great. Great introduction to active pickups. Although I had to adjust some screws and truss rod its great.

Amazing

The price is cheap but the guitar is insane in quality. The sound from the active pickups is really good and it is my go to guitar right now.

Decent guitar for the price

When I received and unboxed my guitar I was abit worried of what could be wrong with it. Overall it's pretty good for the money. Only thing would be the tuning machine heads are to close to the top edge of the headstock and paint on the downward point by neck feels abit rough. My first guitar with active pickups and I like the HBZ pickups so far. Would definitely order another one just wish they had the progressive line in white as well black is nice but white would be nice. Ordered on the 20th shipped on 23rd and was her on the 27th

WHAT CAN I SAY!

This was a hopeful buy turned out to be one of the best guitars i now own action and intenation was perfect when it arrived which was really quick ass well everything about this purchase makes me want to buy even more from harley benton!

the best guitar in budget under 200 dollars

that is my first Harley Benton. The quality of materials, pickups, machineheads that's somthing unbelivable for this money

Bad shipping time and quality

Bad delivery time and bad quality

Amazing playability in a “budget” guitar!!!

A few small dings in the paint under the finish (I could have completely overlooked but they’re are 5 small dings on the front of the guitar before the finish coat went on). Intonation is spot on. Needed a small truss rod adjustment. But otherwise absolutely amazing features, sound and playability for the price!

I love mine!

I am so happy with this guitar! I would definitely recommend it to anyone interested. Cool shape, and active pickups at a more than reasonable price. Mine was flawless out of the box. I love the tone of the pickups, especially the neck. The guitar is all gloss black; there is just a glare in the pictures. If there was one in white with a Floyd rose, I'd pick it up no hesitation.

EXcellent

Great quality and good playability right out of the box. This one was for my daughter and she loves it.

Studio quality

This Guitar packs a punch, the HBZ active pickup give it a smooth but punchy tone. This is now my go to guitar for tracking all my bands Riffs.

It doesn't matter if you are a beginner or a seasoned player. Grab yourself one of these guitars.

I fell In love ❤️

Fantastic guitar and being a lady with small hands this is perfect for me. I will always go back for more. I just bought another guitar today they are beautiful guitars and such high quality.

Best ratio of price and quality

For this price, poorly made guitars are usually sold, respectively, and the sound in them will not be very good. But this model surprised me. Active pickups that sound great on distortion in relation to a not bad build are a good tool for both beginners and experienced ones. There are a few jambs during the assembly, but they are not striking and do not interfere with the playing.

a good guitar, especially for it's money.

In Russia, you will not find a guitar with an explorer shape anywhere for such a price. Plus there is a good sound and a wire (actually a wire for the first time).

3 stars, because there are some stains on the neck and all the covers are cracked at the back. It feels like the guitar was stored somewhere in an ice hole.

There were also problems with delivery to Russia. In addition to the fact that the delivery costs 80 euros, the guitar went to me for more than a week.

Good guitar for that price

Very good guitar for that price, but have a couple cons.

Pros:

-Sounds good on high gain

-Looks cool

-Neck and frets feels good

-9v Battery included

Cons:

-Clean sound, sounds not like a clean

-Guitar have a couple little poish cracks, which hard to see

About shipping. My guitars delievered in 2 weeks in Russia

My second HB guitar and i love it

I originally purchased this guitar as something cool to have around the living room and not have to worry about some stupid dings and all that on my main guitars I use. Well I discovered I really love the way this guitar feels in my hands, I have already decided that I'm going to do some upgrading and add this beauty to my rotation.

really the only cons I have found are the tuners aren't the best and the pick ups are really over the top hot if your pushing at band volume. the fretboard needed some love. a little bit of sanding off some really minor glue spot near a fret and it needed a good oiling.

new locking tuners, nut and a new single PU and she's a flyer.

I recommend this as a great buy for the money. If i didn't already have one I would.. well......

decent guitar

this guitar is a brilliant guitar to play, easy to use as I'm a beginner and it fits perfectly into the music I want to learn. the pickups are great sounding but can be a bit buzzy sometimes. it's brilliant quality with no neck dive that I'm grateful for. only gripe I could say is that the cable jack wasn't fitted on properly as it was inside the guitar and had to fix it on myself. but other than that it's a great guitar and brilliant playing all round

Amazing guitar!

About the best you can get for the least money! This guitar plays and sounds amazing right out of the box. Great tone, body, and neck for an inexpensive guitar. It’s all amazing for a mod platform. Would highly recommend!

Bang for your $$$

Even though the big box was punctured deep in 3 areas the inside box was just fine. Guitar came in tune, intonated and clean as can be. Fretboard is a little dry, no biggie. No sharp fret ends and nice crowned frets. Didn't come with a 9v battery, again..who cares? It's my 4th Benton, with my 5th on the way. Love these guitars! Oh and the finish on all my Bentons have been just perfect. Even the 2 "B" stock models.

Worth the (low) price

I received the guitar neatly wrapped in bubble wrap with no transport damages. It looks amazing at first glance but there are some minor issues with it. There are very small imperfections in its finish,the fret work is a little bit sloppy and there is also something white on the entire fretboard.The guitar was setup and ready to play out of the box and has no issues at all except for minor cosmetic ones. Overall a great guitar for the price.

good guitar, cheap pick ups

Good guitar, but the pick ups give out a loud static sound like they weren't properly grounded. This fine with me since i intend to replace them with EMG's.
