Harley Benton Extreme-84 Progressive Series 5-stars Reviews

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!

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.

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......

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.

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.
