Harley Benton S-620 TR Rock Series

BEAUTIFUL SUPER STRAT!

I have been looking for two wonderful super Strats for quite a while. This one was my third Harley Benton purchase in 2024. Both are impeccable! The body absolutely shimmers! And the neck is super smooth. Both are absolutely fun to play!

Great guitar

If you are looking for a High quality guitar that will satisfy all your metal and rock needs this is it!!! The frets were nicely polished. The set up was good the neck feels great, is a bit bigger than what you would find on a strat but still comfortable to play.

A killer instrument

aesthetics: the guitar looks beautiful. arrived in perfect condition. there is not a single scratch. gold hardware doesnt look cheap at all. parts: the knobs are very tight and sturdy. the toggle switch doesn’t wobble at all. pots and tuners are basic but do the job. pickups: i wasn’t expecting this clear pickups to be honest. it is not muddy at all. just lacking some definition and articulation. but i am def keeping these pickups. neck: neck is a lil fat but very very smooth and comfortable. i love it. the profile is not a modern C but a regular C shape. fretboard: action is low, no fret buzz and frets are polished enough for easy bendings. floyd rose: i locked the strings at the nut and the bridge very tightly. it always stays in tune after heavy dive bombs. but for pullups, it goes sharp so need to push down after a pullup to bring it back to point zero.

Totally useless until……

So I got this for my son as he’s getting really into van halen but I didn’t want to spend a small fortune incase he lost interest. Guitar arrived and looks amazing! Plugged it in and it was totally unusable! Had to spend another £100 On a complete setup which involved taking the neck off to work on the neck, and the bridge was fitted totally wrong! It’s now perfect and is easily as good as a guitar twice it’s price. Very dissatisfied with how they send it from the factory but well happy now I’ve invested money into making it playable.

Quality and Finnish superb as always,usuall tweaks as always fret polishing, new strings action and set up, once done the trem system has stayed in tune, lovely smooth fast neck and fret Finnish, my 4th guitar from harley benton and all amazing guitars,excellent playability, at a price point that puts other guitar companies to shame

Amazing

I don't know how they build such a Great Guitar at that Price it's my go to Guitar, I play it more than my Rickenbacker. 660.

Bought for my son, loves it, ticks every box!

its ok

i hated this guitar for the first few weeks that i had it (mostly from frustrations with the floyd rose system, which i had never used before). for some reason, mine just hurts to play in e standard, so i have it in eb and it plays much better.

the floyd rose that came with it is pretty horrible though. its usable at best, and after upgrading to a gotoh ge1996t, it is substantially better. i would not buy this guitar unless youre willing to put a good amount of money, and a hell of a lot of time into it.

its a damn good platform, only if youre willing to put the time into it. it is not a bad purchase, especially if youre strapped for cash short term and you REALLY want a floyd, but if you can, buy something more expensive because it will be worth it.

You won't find a better guitar in this price range

The guitar came out of tune which is expected. The floyd rose bridge was difficult to tune as I was new to this bridge type.

I changed the strings after more than one day of painful trial and error, but now that the strings were changed the sound of the guitar is really great, the floyd rose bridge works fine.

The finish and overall quality of the guitar is better than expected for a guitar in a 150 euro price range. The fretboard was really dry and needed wood conditioner, frets were cut good. Tuners feel a bit cheap but the locking nut works fine.

One small issue is that the guitar came with an allen wrench that was too big in diameter for the screws for the bridge and locking nut.

I listed all the issues I had with this guitar, I think its a great buy and you won't find a better guitar let alone a floyd rose in this price range.

My 2nd one

This one needed some frett work had to file the burrs off the ends and then run a very fine Scotchbrite pad down the neck for a final smoothing of the frets but no big deal.

Finish was excellent neck straight and tweak the Floyd a little and it's ready to go!
