Harley Benton ST-20 SB Standard Series

Bought to try Roseacer fretboard

I had great experiences with the ST-62MN and its variants but was eyeing this out due to the roseacer fretboard. I have seen this used as a skunk stripe and its should be like baked maple so it should be good right? however the build of the guitar is more like coming from the same factory as the ST 90 judging by the online photos so i decide to get one and yes it is the same finish style/logo placement as the ST90 but with cheaper hardware, the same thick and a tad hazy clear coat on the body. for the stock pickups they work. Only thing i didnt like was the tuners were installed slanted. For the Roseacer fretboard. it looks like Ebony, very dark but i would not recommend oiling this board at all. i would recommend cleaning it with naptha or something not oily. tonally roseacer is dull sounding. Overall its an ok guitar but if you want something better than this the ST62 Harley Benton is 2x better.

The guitar came with a crooked fingerboard. I straightened it with a truss rod. Action was high and I had to take it down. There is a fret on the sixth string. I suggest the company to raise the technical control of its production.

good price for this quality

Cheap guitar with cheap sound

The build of the guitar leaves much to be desired, but what can you expect at this price? After purchasing, it is worth modifying it yourself: File the frets, adjust the neck and scale. The guitar sounds very cheap, but for beginners and for children in general it is suitable. Accessories are also very cheap, a little backlash.

For beginners

It's great choice for beginners or whom trying to get in the world of guitars I highly recommend it.

3/5

For its cost, the guitar is not bad, but there are some differences

Awesome as a first guitar

theres nothing bad i can say about this guitar really.it plays well out of the box and even better with a professional setup. the potentiometres are a little on the low end side but you can only expect so much from a 72 dollar guitar. highly recommend this as your first guitar

It's good! Not perfect but good.

In my case:

- Neck: good, but frets the are slightly sharp;

- Pickups: work as you expected;

- Body: no issues;

- Tuners: work, but one slightly tilted, which happens in more expensive guitars. Not a big deal.

As a result this guitar is good. Especially when you look at the price. After ordering, you receive a product that you can use right out of the box.

I think this guitar can be a great starting point for beginners.

Awesome guitar

Its my first guitar, and its amazing. Playable, comfortable, good sound. I heard that the guitar doesnt hold the tune well, but all amazing

A Killer of Cheap Stratocaster

The product is more than amazing for the price. Quality is great for the segment, the sound is very decent. But unsure about "modern C" neck profile, more looks like classic "C". I wouldn't recommend this guitar for heavy styles.
