Recommended for starters

Pretty "OK" solid guitar, sounds decent, looks decent, feels decent and price is more than decent.

Not the best guitar, but you'd hardly find a better guitar for this price and it's not even bad. Pretty good for starters, however probably falls off once you get good at playing it.

Would recommend for starter

Budget electric guitar

I chose it as an entry level guitar and I'm not disappointed. For a low price I have an instrument that works quite well. The pick-ups might not be the best but they have good sound and clarity, also you can understand the difference when changing positions. Built quality looks fine and the neck is fine for my small fingers. From a beginners point of view it'w an excellent guitar

Fast neck

The neck on this guitar is satin finished. Very smooth - no rough frets. I prefer floating tremolo so adjustments were made to neck action, tremolo springs, intonation and bridge height. Very fast and playable was the result.

Pickups seemed a little mushy at first, but with set up came classic single coil sound, bright and punchy.

My humble opinion has it that the string tree on the D - G strings at headstock is superfluous, and would simply add friction to the tremolo action.

I popped a spare tremolo arm spring in the arm well, and now the arm is stable, and does not flop around. I expect with settling in, and a fresh set of strings, that tuning stability can be achieved.

I wanted an inexpensive guitar for busking, and this is perfect - cheap and very, very cheerful! (Works well with the Vox AC15 sound on the Vox battery amp).

All in all excellent value!

Worth Money - great for begginer

The build of the guitar is the classic Fender style . Bought as gift for my wife and totally worth money till the last cent ! You wont see any big difference on sound from the big ones unless you are a pro guitar player ... Strong bulid very nice colour and all buttons are stable till now !

Harley Benton St-20 bk

This is a stratocaster style guitar with a maple neck and basswood body.. This is the best guitar you can get in this price range and the sound is amazing! It has a volume knob, two tone knobs, 3 single coil pickups. It has a 5 way switch which allows you to select single pickups or blend the sound of two pickups for example. This guitar gives you so many possibilities in terms of tone shaping, but it already sounds great out of the box.With a little bit of reverb, this guitar sounds as good as my fender strat. The harley benton st20bk guitar has 22 frets and also comes with a tremolo system. Other colours are also available but the black one looks better with the glossy finish.
