Harley Benton JA-60CC Shell Pink 5-stars Reviews

Can’t do any better for the price really

Aside from some tool marks and whatever, I can’t find a single problem. Came decently set up so I didn’t need to do too much work, sounds spot on for what I wanted it for. Highly recommend.

Feels insanely good

Feels insanely good to play. Blown away by how good it feels considering the how cheap it is. I prefer playing this over my 800 euro fender. Came perfectly setup from straight from the store. Didn´t even need to set it up at all myself. Very happy with my purchase!

Ubeatable for the price

This guitar under a more famous manufacturer would cost easily double the price.

Very nice satin neck makes you play effortless keep in mind it is in the chunky area and not a modern C shape. However it is not a baseball bat.

The Roswell pickups are too hot but they have body and balls, i will not replace them, they sound phenomenal for the price.

Because of their high resistance they also create much hum so i put some copper tape in order to mitigate the issue.

Overall quality is comparable with 600 hundred euros guitars or even better, i had no issue with anything. Came pretty well setup and i just plugged it n played.

Only minor thing that perhaps i will replace in the future is the tuners that they hold the tuning but restring them sometimes is not easy.

I will put a set of Harley benton locking tuners.

Overall i am blown away by the rise on the quality of harley benton now days.

Highly recommended!!

amazing guitar :)

I ordered this guitar initially thinking the setup wouldn't be great but I was pleasantly surprised because the setup was incredible as the action was perfect and the neck was pretty much straight. This was very surprising as this guitar is less than the price of my groceries. My only gripe with this guitar is when on a clean channel for me I hear a slight hum when I turn the volume knob up, it isn't the end of the world since it is not that noticeable when just playing.

One of the best guitars on the market

I was skeptical because the price at first, but after a year of playing live and daily practice, it has exceeded my expectations. The value that you get out of this guitar is outstanding.

Flawless!

I order the shell pink option. everything came in perfect order. the finish on the guitar is beautiful. sounds incredible. punches so much higher than the price. highly recommend this is a steal!

Well, Everyone Online Wasn't Wrong

Everyone on Youtube and Facebook have been raving about this so I went for it. I am NOT disappointed. This thing played perfectly straight out of the box. I put Not Even Slinky's on it and tuned it to C Standard and it is beautiful. The Pickups are surprisingly good. Like, REALLY good. I've had my share of very pricey guitars over the last 20 years, and currently still have a 2005 Gibson Les Paul Classic and an 80's Charvel Model 2 that I love. But I will never buy an expensive guitar again. I'm going to replace my whole lineup with Harley Bentons and store my more pricey guitars. I know that sounds kind of... drastic, but these things are just that good. I am legitimately and very genuinely impressed!

Insane how good this guitar is

The YouTube reviews don't lie. This is an incredibly well finished guitar for the price. Comfortable binding on the fretboard, smooth matte finish on the neck, and has a decent tone. Plays great out of the box, only gripes I had are that the nut was glued in too securely and the neck doesn't seem to be C shape, more a D or oval C, whatever that is. Nut was made from some kind of bone dust composite. Overall this is at least as good as a Squier Classic Vibe but about half the price.

Amazing

Not sure how you can get the quality this good for the price. The guitar is flawless. Neck feels great, action was perfect and the pickups sound exactly like you'd want for a jazzmaster style guitar.

A wonderful choice for a Jazzmaster type guitar

I've had this guitar (in shell pink) for 3 weeks now and it's honestly one of the best guitars I've played and had the pleasure of owning. I can't claim to have ever owned a fender, or a Gibson or any expensive Guitar because I have not. I've played and owned many squires, low end Ibanez and esp guitars. Over the last year or so I've read many good reviews of Harley Benton guitars and I've been looking for a Jazz/Jag shape guitar at a reasonable price and this guitar delivers that and more. No tuning issues at all, no setup or action issues and no blemish or defect issues. The guitar plays perfectly well and the pickups themselves sound great and can be played clean or with OD/Distortion and still sound good. It's very comfortable to play. I had high hopes and expectations and I was not disappointed. I'm currently playing through an old (2009) Zoom pedal Into an old Spider 4 I've had for nearly 13 years (when I was 17) and it still sounds wonderful. I don't doubt it would sound even better with a new amp and or pedal. I recommend this to anyone viewing this page and thinking about buying it. The guitar is a bit lighter in weight than I thought it would be and that's a good thing. In comparison my affinity tele feels like it weighs a ton. Really good for any genre I've played on it. from Takanaka to The used. From Chon to Attila. There isn't anything I've played that I haven't been able to get the right sound on. 5/5 across the board.

Wonderful quality, can’t put it down!

The quality of this guitar is just awesome, regardless of price. I find myself playing this more than guitars costing 5 times as much….

I don’t know how they produce a guitar of such great quality at such a low price , but I’ll definitely be getting more from HB in the future….!

The perfect modding platform

Love this guitar. Sounds great. It’s made really well and is much better than I was expecting.

Absolutely Gobsmacked

Ok, so I've read and watch many reviews on Harley Benton guitars.

Decided to try this one out, I had absolutely no expectations when I ordered it. And it's almost flawless! Frets a great, neck is straight and smooth, pick-ups sound fantastic, tuners good enough 3.5/5, the guitar just needed a minor setup when I got it,

I planned to do some upgrades on this guitar and I've almost thrown that idea out of the window, might change the tuners, other than that I'm keeping it stock.

I've had it for three days now and have not put it down, I ordered Ibanez S671ALB-BCM in the same order and I've barely played that :D But that guitar is fantastic to.

I will definitely check out more HB guitars in the future.

Perfect right out of the box

Yknow for a guitar at this price I would think there would be a couple quirks I’d have to fix but nope it litterally couldn’t of played or had better quality it was just right!

Remarkable quality and value

This is my first Harley Benton guitar and, judging by the quality and value of it, it won't be my last. Brilliant sounding guitar, which needed minimal set up, out of the box (just the action lowering slightly). Intonation is spot on and seems to hold its tune well. It's light and extremely playable, and the overall quality control is excellent apart from apart from a couple of minor scratches on the scratch plate near the toggle switch. Good guitar even at twice the price.

Absolute best guitar for the money!

This guitar is beyond a great piece. Construction, awesome. Feel, awesome. Look, awesome. Out of the box, perfect.

Incredible Sound and Feel for the Price Range!

I bought the JA-60CC blindly after having watched a video on it briefly. Something told me that I wouldn't be disappointed, but I had to keep my expectations low for a guitar in this price range.

Finally, the guitar had come in and gone through a serious checkup to see what the situation was. The neck was in perfect condition, and the fret job had to have been one of the best I've ever seen. The pickups that frightened me mostly came around twice.

Being primarily a metal player, I put the pickups through the wringer, exceeding every expectation. The body paint was put on excellently as well, with no hasty job markings or blemishes.

Overall, this instrument has turned out to be my everyday go-to guitar for studio sessions, and I can't recommend this guitar enough. For this price point, this is an absolute steal!

Surprised at how much I like this

I bought this as a cheap short scale guitar to live on my sofa for some night time tinkering. I wasn’t expecting much because of the cost, but it’s solid and the quality appears to exceed the cost. Definitely value for money I’d say.
