Stunning guitar to look at and play. Have 6 harley bentons and they are all top quality.

Great

The guitar is simply space, the mesmerizing sound of the pickups especially on the neck, a specific and very readable sound both clean and overdriven. The guitar turned out to be quite light and with good sustain.

My keeper

I just play to entertain myself, but I have several guitars. Various makes and models, none very expensive. If I could only keep one, the HB JA-60 would be the one. Light. Plays so easy. Neck feels great for my hand. I've played guitars in stores with tags 10 times the price and I would still pick this one.

Unbelievable

This is my fifth (!) Harley Benton HB JA-60, and all of them deserve a very high rating. The build quality is almost impeccable. So, given the very affordable price, this guitar is really unique. My advice is: grab one until they last. The only point of moderate criticism is pickups. They are generally okay, but in my opinion a little bit "thin" compared to what I'd expect from a classic P90. To conclude, my overall assessment of this guitar is this: Bravo!

Great budget offset

Much better than I expected. Just needed a little setup and some fret dressing for a bit of fret sprout, but plays really well!

Still one of my favourite quitars

This was my first HB guitar and after nearly four years this is still one of my favourite guitars to play! Apart from giving this a slight fret re-dress and a good setup I've not changed a thing. Hardware is good enough and I love the sound of the pickups.

Get offset!

Fun guitar... not entirely sure if the pickups are styled more after a jazzmaster or p90, but this is an excellent entry level Jazzmaster/offset style guitar

Wow. I want to get another!

I bought this guitar based on a youtube review of another HB. All-in, including tax & shipping, it cost under 300 US dollars. It looks GREAT, finish GREAT, sound really really GREAT. I did need to do minor setups, but any guitar will need that. Now I want to get an anniversary Firemist ST model.

Bang for the buck

You won't find much better in this price range. Beautiful guitar, beautiful color, it's pleasant to just look at it.

Sounds awesome and feels awesome.

Had one for 2 years. Still love it. Sold a famous brand guitar and kept this one.

Ridiculously good guitar for the money.

Those Roswell pickups are mighty.

It's a better guitar than the one I sold for more than 4x what this cost.
