Looks great, sounds even better

For the price, this is a fantastic guitar. It looks classic, and it sounds really high quality.

Great value! Pick-up switch is in a rather odd place

This is my second Harley Benton and it's really amazing value. I had to do a little adjustment; raising the pickups and lowering the high string action. There are a couple of minor "issues" - firstly, the pickups aren't horizontal; if they were, they could be raised a bit more. Secondly, the pickup selector switch is quite easy to hit accidentally when strumming. I'm not sure why it's there; on the Gibson/Epiphone 335, it's below the strings amongst the volume/tone knobs and much harder to hit by mistake.

Great value for money

Watch most reviews of this guitar on youtube and you'll see exactly what this guitar is like. Is it a high-end instrument? No, but it is a well made guitar that achieves a nice sound and playability for a very reasonable cost. The fretboard is a little rough, the frets are also a little rough, there is some cosmetic issues with the paint and some glue residue that shows on the bindings, and forget about this being AAAA rated maple top...maybe a AA rated. Still, overall a nice looking guitar, seems well made, plays really nice. Great guitar for the money.

Great guitar for the money

Is it perfect....no, bridge and tailpiece are average, tuners are okay, pickups are decent, frets are a bit scratchy and need a bit of TLC. But if you're wiling to spend a bit of time on it you'll be rewarded with a really nice guitar. If you're thinking of buying one, do it, it's worth every penny.
