Really good guitar.

Far better quality than lots of guitars 3 times the price. Realy nice quality and esthetics. Both Looks and feels expensive. Really nice floyd rose. Pretty descent pickups. Only thin I had to do was lowering the strings a bit. =Allover a really good guitar.

You'll never NEED another guitar

This beast is a masterwork of form and function: it looks uber-classy and plays very, very well.

The 24 jumbo frets, the roasted maple neck & fretboard, the Floyd Rose, the coil split, the beautiful finish and gold hardware, the reverse headstock (which serves no purpose but just looks cool), and most of all the playability--low action, smooth frets, good access to the upper register--make this not only a shredder's dream, but versatile enough for most rock, jazz, blues, or country styles.

Now, be forewarned: this beauty has a zaftig neck. The specs say a "modern C" profile, but it feels like a chunky C to me, so if you're used to an Ibanez or Jackson, you might go through a familiarization period. But if you've been playing a Strat or a Les Paul, you won't notice much difference.

If you're looking to step up from your first guitar--or step *over* from your second, third, fourth, or whatever guitar--this might well be the vehicle for you. No matter where you want to go musically, this guitar will probably get you there.

Very nice guitar!

Wow!

This is one of the best guitars I have ever bought. During the years I've probably had about 20 different guitars, but this one is probably one of the best, and definitely the guitar with best value for money.

The neck is super smooth, and the finish is flawless. A couple of the tuners were a bit tight, but on Floyd rose models this is not so important.

I am considering buying another HB model as well, because these guitars are hot!

Supreme high quality electric guitar

This guitar is more confortable then my Ibanez JS!!! This neck is the trigger point of this guitar and the other components stand out to other high quality and high price guitars.

All round the best Harley Benton guitar yet

No hype intention behind this review but really this guitar is awesome, all from materials to workmanship is at a high level, and though it is not the cheapest hb model, I doubt there is ay other of better value. The neck is fantastic and the fretwork in my unit was almost perfect, you can set it up to a very low action with no fret buzz, and of top of that is beautiful :)

I have had several Harley Bentons and always replaced the pick ups for one reason or another, but no need in this one, they are really good for that 80s vibe sound.

Congrats, if the next Fusion series is all this quality, I sell all my expensive guitars and replace them with HBs!

Very nice!

So.. mixed bag! Overall a very usable guitar at a very good price. Beautiful wood selection! Flawless finish! Floyd Rose 1000 for the win! Pickups sounded like they cost way more than they do! The bad? The frets.. as per usual I needed to smooth out the rough SS frets. That being said the workmanship on them was almost flawless! Not a single high/low fret! No rough edges. The big bad? The neck angle was wrong on this. While setting it up I couldn't a good playable action even with the bridge screwed all the way down. I ordered a proper shim from stewmac and ordered the supplies to smooth out the frets at the same time. After some trial and error I had it squared away! The neck took it like a champ! I had to remove and replace it several times to get the angle right! I wish this would have cone with a good case otherwise it lives up to the hype! No wonder why it was sold out within a day!

Flawless guitar

The guitar was perfect out of the box. The colour on this is beautiful along with the gold hardware gives this a delicious look. Had to level the Floyd but not exactly a hard process. A great guitar and a steal for the price. You’d be silly not to pounce.

The Green Manalishi

So glad I purchased as soon as I did before it sold out & as soon as I seen Max video. This guitar is the best guitar I've ever owned and plays unbelievably. I had one gig over the weekend with my band and it performed beautifully and was the center of attention from a couple friends. I gave my guitar the name, The Green Manalishi.... Beyond satisfied and indeed love my new guitar. ..

Superb fit and finish

As always a massive thank you to all involved in getting my order processed so quickly.

Guitar after safety and well pack and to prove it was perfectly in tune out of the box.

The pickups are well balanced and very articulate especially the neck rail pickup which is super smooth..think 80,s power ballad solo tone.

The floyd rose is rock solid ,fine tuners a bit stiff but nothing a bit of vasoline won't fix.

Fret work is great no sharp edges but a little gritty but I have had this on guitars twice the money and again an easy fix.

It's certainly got all the shredder appointments except for the most important feature "the neck" while super smooth it is thick 23.4mm at 12th fret and while comfortable it can be hard work doing fast runs so please keep that in mind if your expecting slim speed taper this is not for you.

Well done to harley benton for letting the cat out of the bag and giving us such high quality at budget prices.

Wao, so far the best hb I got in my collection.

Really the best you can get for 499. There is no competition from other brands!
