Harley Benton Extreme-84 Progressive Series Reviews
A Phenomenal Guitar!
I could never afford a high end guitar, but having played the Extreme-84 Progressive I can imagine what it must feel like.This guitar is smooth as silk and crystal clear with more than enough output for a large stadium. It is well-balanced with no neck dive and stays in tune regardless. While it is hardly suited for a stand because of its irregular shape, it is not a guitar to be put down easily. I owned seven guitars already, but this one became my instant favorite.
Dirty sounding and i LOVE IT
I use this for when im in the mood for a good old shred out in the garden to annoy the neighbours at 5am in the morning,
This thing is an absolute beast as i run it through a Line 6 Spider 2 150W On the Insane setting, it the Harmonics you can pull this off with are absolutely insane.
The only thing i can find wrong is the nut, as its plastic ill be replacing that with Tusk or Bone but other than that... I can find nothing wrong with this guitar, A nice thing is that it comes with a 9V Battery in the box so you can plug and shred straight away overall i'd happily recommend this to any aspiring heavy guitarist ^^
This is a really nice and cheap guitar
I never thought a thing so cheap would be so good, seriously , it has a great sound, its confortable and almost feels like a gibson explorer.
I would 10/10 recomend this guitar.
I made a wise choice!
I am amazed, to be honest; this is 150 euros and somehow a super dense, mahogany metal guitar with active pickups.
I can only speak for my own experience, but the guitar I received was practically perfect - low action, beautiful finish, just great to play straight from the box!
The guitar gods were smiling on me I guess, I am only using a Blackstar Fly 3 Mini amp, so I cannot really say how well the pickups perform at high volume, but that said, the Fly 3 can kick out a decent sound, and I had no noise issues from the active pickups (which have been reported by some tests last year - (check out on Youtube).
That is impressing me, no noise, clear sound, and a heavy sound on the fat strings. Again, its my perfect metal guitar for 150 euros... There has to be a catch, right?!
Bridge is really nice, nobs are smooth, toggle switch is decent and seems like it will last. No cheap nasty parts, Tuners are all good. I cant find a fault at all.
Its a fantastic guitar and for the price, jesus....
If you like heavy, solid, black, metal guitars, no reason on earth I couldn't recommend this.
