LOVE this guitar
Looks,plays and sound amazing. Cannot find anything wrong with it , period.
Great for the price
Really fun to play, beautiful and sounds good. No it doesn't compare to a 3000 Gibson but you get a great guitar for the price you are paying . Recommend to anyone.
Good guitar, but bad electronic
Frankly speaking, I don't really share the general enthusiasm for this guitar. I agree that in terms of manufacturing, it is perfect: the strings lie low, do not buzzing, the neck is straight and comfortable, the frets do not protrude, the tuning pegs are smooth and doesnât has any backlash, the guitar holds tune well, the pickup selection switch working distinctly, generally the appearance is impeccable, I would say that the instrument looks much more beautiful even than its original (Gibson- 335). But then the disadvantages became - mainly they are related to electronic, and more precisely - to pickups (humbuckers). They are bad. They generate background noise (how is that possible?!) It is well known that the biggest advantage of humbuckers is absence of background noise, but here they make buzzing noise like ordinary single coil pickups. Sound, which produced by these humbuckers are OK â it is suitable for performing saturated (âmeatâ) soloing with overdrive, or distortion, but these pickups absolutely inappropriate for any funk, rhythm-n-blues or any other âspeedâ styles â the sound is very muddiness and rumble. When Iâve tried to correct this sound with the help of EQ â sound became offensively harshness, and background noise became more. To summarizing: definitely this guitar needs customization - it's absolutely necessary to change pickups (as well, as appropriate potentiometers), but of course it will much increase the guitar cost/ price.
Great Guitar for the Value
For the money you really can’t do much better, generally flawless except from a small issue with a saddle that was quickly rectified.
HB-35 CH vintage
I’m so impressed with this guitar. It’s so far my favourite Harley Benton guitar and it’s actually my favourite guitar of all my guitars. Holds the tuning , sounds great, feels great. Excellent craftsmanship with decent hardware and just looks beautiful. I’m glad I stuck with the vintage series.
He is delighted
Bought for a friend who is in poor health but this made him smile and he's delighted its his go to guitar
Superb Guitar
This is an amazingly good guitar. It is very reasonably priced, yet the quality of it's build and incredible sound is better than many more expensive makes.
Great deal
Anyone looking for a guitar that covers , jazz,blues,funk and soul. I highly recommend due to this. First off pleasantly surprised by neck and how comfortable it is to play , alongside the intonation is really nice and sturdy, note that I've done a few mods myself just for myself. Overall for the price I'm happy and satisfied anyone not looking to break the bank or spend alot .
Bargain!
I bought this guitar because I really like the hagstrom viking ii and this one looks a lot like it. Im a big elvis fan so this guitar is perfect with a very good price and amazing quality.
