Harley Benton ST-20 SB Standard Series Reviews

Finish is good can’t be beaten on price would certainly expect to pay more everything as it should be out of the box.

Лучшая гитара за эти &#107

Это моя первая электрогитара и я в восторге от неё. Качество сборки и материалов на высоте. Звучит отлично, немного звенят лады на первых позициях, но я думаю все это можно устранить более точной настройкой инструмента. Строй держит отлично. Высоту струн удалось подстроить по себя идеально.

Выбирал между покупкой squier bullet в России и этой моделью, однозначно нужно брать Harley Benton, по цене намного дешевле и ничем не уступает буллету!

It is what is worth.

In terms of finish it looks great, sounds ok, but:

cons

- Does not hold in tune very well ( don't even think using the trem system);

- It was necessary a full setup including fret levelling;

Pros

- nothing beats the price;

- after the setup it is actually a good guitar to practice;

If you want to start playing, this could be the best choice in terms of quality and price.

This was a gift

I havent played it but he loved it and thats what counts. It was sent overseas and made a young man very happy

Customer Service

The folks at Harley Benton are just fantastic. I have bought 3 guitars so far, and 1 of them had some minor shipping damage, and 1 had some fret damage. Harley Benton replaced the guitar, and gave me a voucher on the 2nd one. This is very considerate and flexible of them. They have won me as a customer for life. I will buy all of my future instruments from them. The options and pricing that they offer is also very unique and I will recommend them to all of my circle of friends who are musicians.

great for a beginner guitar

Remarkable quality for a very good price!

This Harley Benton ST-20 SB model is a fine cut electric six string with beautiful features and nice overall sound. While essentially a Fender Squier/Stratocaster imitation, this particular model retains a certain degree of originality as well (particularly in the choice of colour).

Overall good quality for a very good price and highly recommended to any guitar player out there!

As basic as it gets.

Great strat style guitar, with little flaws as far as the neck and body go.

I would prefer better wiring and pickups for my standards, but i guess that is a matter of taste and individual needs.

BUT, even with an upgrade in electronics, the whole thing still costs about 100-120 euro and feels great in your hands!

Crazy value

I was looking for this style guitar for some Floyd/Hendrix/etc. that I was recording. Didn't feel like spending a ton and was ordering another guitar, so added this on to minimize the impact of the US shipping.

I've been incredibly impressed with this guitar, and have been using it almost nonstop (about 3:1 versus the more expensive guitar I bought at the same time). The build quality is extremely impressive at this or any price range. Guitar just feels great to play, sounds great unplugged or plugged in, and looks great. I wish I could've gotten a guitar of this quality at this price when I first started playing.

The main downside is that it just will not stay in tune (the G/B strings primarily go out of tune within a few minutes of playing). Basically have to stop recording and retune every couple of bars. Will look to pick up some better tuners in future, but for the time being, cannot beat this guitar for the price. The only other downside is that the frets are a little low for my tastes, but getting used to working around that so I can get the sound I need.

Another great Harley Benton purchase and I'm sure I'll be back for another in the future!

I would like say thank you first of all.It arrived my country in 10 days and without any damage.My previous guitar has a very bad frets but this one i cant leave my guitar alone .It is smooth and best guitar for this price.I recommed this guitar for every guitar learner.But only one problem is there little is buzz in E string.That is it.And i think it is acceptable for this price range.Now I am going to rock and good luck those who is about choose their very first electric guitar.Rock but dont roll.Cause we need you alive:))))

Unbelievable Quality

Totally impressed and amazed at craftsmanship of this guitar.. The feel and playability is awesome. Have ordered new pickups the ones installed will do the job preference is wanted hot coffee tax style for this guitar. Is quickly becoming my favorite..but we will see...........anxiously awaiting the s.c. Custom fr .I will definitely be purchasing from Harley Benton in the future

Very good value but work required!

Very good value but unfortunately this wasn't a guitar I could unbox and start playing. The good news is that nothing needed replacing.

Biggest problems were a complete lack of intonation and excessive string height which were easily fixed. The nut still needs work to fix sitar on open B and minor fret work is required to get the action how I like but then the guitar should be in pretty good shape.

However, I also purchased a TE-52 in addition to this model and I believe that to be better value despite the higher price.

Great for the price

Nice sound (for the price). Detunes quite quickly but hey, it's cheap guitar, what would you expect. Overall: great value, perfect for beginners.

Excellent guitar for the money

I was looking for an affordable guitar that I could play in my dorm room and this guitar far exceeded my expectations! Finish work is amazing and the neck feels comfortable in my hand. Highly recommend to beginners or anyone looking for a great modding platform!

Great guitar for my son

It's absolutely satisfying a young musicians' needs. Only pros, no cons.

Good guitar for beginners

Hi,

we use every day this guitar. No problem. Maybe sound could be better if I compare this product with same price guitars. But for beginners is OK, quallity and features are very good!

My best recommendation.

Hesitation means less play time!

For under £80 I expected a body, maybe a useable neck, but mainly a platform to mod and improve my set-up skills. Im a bedroom (occasionally hall/living room) player but have owned plenty of guitars to give this a fair review.

Nice weight - light but not too light. The body is perfectly finished .

The neck is immense. C shape with a nice, minimal finish.

The tuners may well be the cheapest tuners this side of Pluto but they look good, they perform good...they are good! The nut is really what dictates guitar staying in tune. This one is clearly a cheap plastic/synthetic bone type, but it is cut well. I have graphtec spares but no need to replace it yet. I did shape the ends of it , but thats all.

sound - It sounds like a strat! I did tilt, raise the pickup height...but this is what everyone should try before replacing.

Trem - I am a light term user. I did set up the trem to my own liking and it keeps in tune.

To conclude - this thing is great. Whether for a beginner for as a main guitar, you can't go wrong. Silly price. I recently had a squier affinity. They are over twice the price and very similar in quality.

Super good value

A very good guitar overall. I just can't understand how Harley Benton make such good quality products with those prices. A great guitar for a beginner, but also for a semi-pro or amateur. Intonation was good straight out of the box, and the strings were decent too.

Good for students

These guitars are especially good for students. They are a great price and with a little tweak they play well and have a good tone.

If you are on a budget I would recommend you try one or better still take the advantage of a beginners bundle deal.
