Amazing guitar that will keep me busy for years

First, the disclaimer: I'm not gigging, and I play mostly in the comfort of my own house. I do however play with a friend occasionally and this is the guitar I pick every time from my collection when I go out. I've been played for a little over a year, and I have two more expensive guitars at home as well.

Plays and feels great, the neck is absolutely fantastic, smooth and comfortable. The tuners are high quality and in combo with the nut makes this guitar keep the tune very well.

The pickups are what most people whine about, but honestly they're pretty good and I don't see changing them any time soon.

The hard tail bridge is a plus for me. I have a floyd rose guitar and I don't really like when it's time to change the strings, but if I break one of these, it's a very straightforward fix.

Be warn: the frets need polishing, so buy one of those kits to do that, and an extra pack of strings. the factory ones are not the best anyway, so you'll be better off changing them. Or not, you might actually like them!

There was a very small mark but nothing that would annoy me too much.

I think this guitar is an absolute joy to play, the finishing can be a little better but I don't think you'll find a better guitar at this price point, and to be fair even at double the price. The materials used are top notch and this is beautiful instrument which will surpass any guitar under he £600 price range, but will need a little setup before having it singing its melody.

Fantastique.

Il n'y a pas besoin de faire un long discours ; a ce prix, c'est une affaire. Juste les frettes a polir pour plus de confort de jeu mais tout est absolument nickel. J'adore la différence singulière qu'il y a entre single coil et humbucker, la couleur est originale et le manche est beau. Franchement, je n'ai rien a redire sur cette guitare.

Not bad

Let's start with the good. The sound of the pickups rose quite good, not too exhaustive but not too vintage either. Sounds good on my vox vx gt15. The neck is amazing, it's a very nice matte standard profile neck. COLOR NOT MATTE! THE GUITAR HAS COME IN A GLOSSY DARK BLUE COLOR! However, she still looks good. The position switch is strong enough, there are no problems with painting. The frets were not scratched, the factory setting is very good.

Now for the cons.

There is a small indentation on the lining, which does not affect anything, but is unpleasant. The frets are set a little crooked and you can see the wood, but I must say that nothing is scratched, and I do not care. The hole for the anchor is made 4/5, the tree sticks out, and it is also clear that the second was done carelessly. The sensors were originally lowered as low as possible, strange. (I forgot to say, the bridge does not scratch the hand, very comfortable) There is a small piece of dried blue paint on the fingerboard,

Amazing guitar

This is my first Harley Benton and I'm really surprised.

The guitar are really solid and feels much more expensive than it really is. Sounds and responses great. Pickups are good and versatile.

The most exciting thing, personally for me, is really comfortable neck (profile, quality, finish). It suits for me and my hand really well.

I have some other guitars from famous brands, but this one is easily one of my favorites.

Conclusion: unbelievable value for the price

P.S. Please make a HSS version of fusion with fixed bridge and I'll get it.
