Harley Benton S-620 TR Rock Series 5-stars Reviews

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.

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!

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!

Huge Value for a Small Price

Keep the price of this guitar in mind as you read through my review.

Pros:

- The finish is nice

- The overall feel of the guitar is great

- It is easy to play

- It sounds good

Cons:

- Strings (will be replaced)

- Tuning Machines are a little weak (easily replaceable), they work right out of the box though.

Nitpicky Cons:

- Pickup color

- Pickup ring color

- Toggle switch cap color

Conclusion:

This is a sub $150.00 (USD) guitar, all things considered, it is a great value, you are getting more than you are paying for. Cosmetically it is a great guitar, and it is quite easily the most playable guitar at this price point. I would not be afraid to gig with this guitar at all.

In the pictures, everything looks good, but in person the black pickups and rings and toggle switch tip look a bit off, I will replace those with gold-colored versions later. The translucent red is much better looking in person, the pictures don't do the finish justice.

This thing ROCKS!!!

Absolutely awesome gem of a guitar. A dream to play classic rock on and can this thing hang with guitars costing five times as much or more. Can’t believe the quality for so little a price. Blew me away, wish I had a guitar like this when I started to play so many years ago, would have made learning so much more fun.

A true Gem

The comfortably of the neck is second to none!The clean and dirty sound are mind blowing ! Floyd rose locking nut it is well worth the purchase and worth more than your paying !

This is a steal !!!

Great guitar

This guitars Looks, Sounds, & plays beautiful. I have purchased this guitar & another one. This adds to the 35 other ones I have. Both guitars are absolutely Awesome. I will Definitely be buying more guitars from here!

Simply Sweet

Got tired of my Mex Fender Strat. and this was a great replacement for it.

It came with a broken Low E and the Tremolo was not correctly set. But not an issue change string anyway set it up. It's perfect

Wow 🤩

Didn't expect this quality, very impressed

EPIC

Great guitar.

Floyd rose is a plus!!!!

Probably change out pick ups down the line.

Harley Benton S-620 TR Rock Series

In general, I think this price guitar is only suitable for beginners, because the price is relatively cheap, so I buy it for practice use, the overall feeling is quite suitable, and the cost performance is relatively high.

Very nice!

Gorgeous guitar. Flawless finish. Gold hardware is an awesome pairing with the red finish. Love it!

Incredibly satisfying for the price

Got this as an introduction of sorts to Floyd Rose tremolos and I am in love. Like all other Harley Benton products in this price range, the value is amazing and if you're okay with tinkering, you'll get it to punch way above it's actual price.

Would recommend for anyone who isn't quite ready or willing to spend big money on a Floyd Rose'd guitar

Super guitar for this money

When I was looking for a guitar, I needed a tight sound and a solid sustain. And just this guitar was able to surprise me. I am very satisfied.

Good 2nd guitar for me

This guitar looks and sounds really cool, but the factory strings are really bad
