Top Guitar

I've been playing guitar for many years and even joined Showaddywaddy in 2018-2020. I've owned many guitars some great guitars some not so great. I took a punt on this as it was an incredibly good deal. I received far more than I bargained for. The guitar once I set it up played beautifully. The tones from the humbucking Rosswell pickups having the pull switch to split them was incredibly versatile. From smooth jazz, rock and blues tones this guitar can do them all. The finish was flawless and it looks really cool. I've had no trouble with the tuners as it holds tune very well. This is one to buy. Well done Harley Benton on an incredible deal.

Perfect value for money

Translate to English: Excellent guitar with flawless design and a beautiful metallic finish that will transport you and the audience back to nostalgic times. The composite wood neck is comfortable, enabling consistent tone and quick playing. The knobs aren't designed for ultra-fine adjustments during performance, but once set, they offer a quite decent and enjoyable range of sounds.

Beautiful semi hollow guitar

The guitar is visually stunning, the amount of features you get at this price point is incredible. Set in neck, push/pull coil splitting for both neck & bridge pickups, palermo fretboard & maple neck/body. My fretboard was a lot darker than the one pictured, but no matter!

It has a perfect jazz sound at a fraction of the cost of other hollow bodies, pickups are warm, mellow & full sounding. Like other HB's I own, it required a full set up on arrival, but that's also the case with far more expensive guitars I own.

The nut was perfectly cut, I've noticed a few dead spots on the tuners, but they hold tuning without issue. There's a tiny bit of fret buzz in the 13th fret of the B string, I suspect the fret is slightly lower than the rest, but it's hardly noticeable through the amp. They're the only flaws I had regarding playability, and honestly it's extremely minimal.

There's a few minor visual blemishes on the binding & fret ends where it looks like it was scuffed by a fretting tool, as well as a small mark on the fretboard. There's also some small blemishes on the paintwork & the gold plating has rubbed off on the tune-o-matic bridge where my hand is positioned while playing. Again, absolutely none of that effects playability & the overall look is stunning.

At this price I can absolutely forgive a couple of blemishes, because most importantly, it plays & sounds gorgeous!

Great guitar

It needs a little nut filing, but other than that, it's a great guitar at an amazing value.
