Harley Benton ST-20 BK Standard Series 5-stars Reviews

Great Quality for the Price!

As an entry level guitar, this HB really helped me start practicing and get into playing. The sound is simply amazing for this price level, certainly couldn't imagine this sound just a few decades ago for the same cost. Additionally, the thin neck and good fretting makes it accessible to beginners. While it did come with a few shaving marks on the screws, it really wasn't a problem- just a quick clean up with a paper towel and looked brand new. Overall, amazing quality for a beginner instrument.

PS still amazed at its price- only 89 euros really?!

Sweet guitar

The guitar is alot better than I thought it was going to be, and I dare say plays better than a squire. It plays pretty smooth & I can sweep like a janitor also. The pickups could be better imo but if you play on a great amp its no biggie. Trem is totally fine also

For a cheap guitar, it's very high quality

as soon as I took it out the box, in which it was well protected, I DID NOT feel that this guitar was £70. The sound is spectacular and does not sound cheap at all, the body of the guitar is amazing, the finish is so smooth and overall feels great!

Brilliant starter's guitar

Absolutely perfect starter's guitar. Maybe I just had some luck, but the out-of-the-factory setup that it came with didn't need any adjusting.

Price/quality is spot on.

Great sound for the price

As a beginner's guitar, this is a great pick. It provides very good sound and has great build quality. It will definitely be of use to anyone who is starting to play or isn't sure about buying an expensive guitar right from the start. It holds tuning very well. The body is decently heavy, which gives it a nice feeling. The strings are thin and easy to play.

Excellent value

For the price, this is a fantastic guitar. Perfect if you want an inexpensive single-coil guitar. It plays really nicely after I adjusted the truss rod, changed the strings, and intonated it.

This guitar will work best if you have it tuned up after buying it, so plan on taking it to a local guitar store if you can't do it yourself. If you are a buying this as a first guitar for someone, definitely plan on having it tuned up, as Harley Bentons can arrive needing things like truss rod adjustments, string changes, or fret polishing.

The weakest part of this guitar is the pickups. They work nicely with a clean tone and a fuzzy tone, but don't handle heavy distortion well.

For this money it's the best choice

For me it's comparable to my squier bullet , it's unbeliveable

Beginners dream guitar

Best choise for beginner.

nice for a first guitar

I bought this guitar as my first eletric and after playing it for almost a week i'm getting used to it, feels great and for the price i think you get more than what you paid for.

Great

I was not expecting this quality for this price. My son is a beginner he liked it also. I advice you to buy.

ST-20

Super guitar - low check

At This Price Point You Can't Go Wrong

Pros: (remember the price point of this guitar)

- It actually plays well

- It feels like a real guitar (j/k it is a real guitar)

- It sounds nice

- It looks great

Cons:

- The tuning machines are a bit wonky (I'll replace them soon)

- The strings are a bit sketchy (I'll replace them when the new tuners get here)

- It won't sweep the floor for me

Conclusion:

Overall, I could recommend this guitar to just about anyone for various reasons, such as, having a guitar that didn't cost a whole lot of money for a "partscaster", or just to carry around without worrying about damage as you would with a much more expensive guitar. This would also make an excellent starter guitar (I'll be getting one for my grandson when I feel like he's graduated from the acoustic I gave him). For the price, you really can't go wrong with this instrument.

Additional Thoughts:

I read through other reviews, and ordered new tuning machines, and an output jack, I won't need the output jack for this one, but I will need the new tuners.

Best guitar for that price

Guitar has great sound, tremolo arm and looks stylish. Crafted from good materials. The cable comes with the guitar. It's a best choice for begginers!

Nice one

I'm a keyboardist and I'm a beginner in guitar and this guitar is perfect for me. The sound is quite good but not a i have expected as i have tried many other electric guitars. Overall i can give a 4 ⭐

Very good guitar

Excellent !!

The guitar is almost perfect except for the tuners that have a free play and need to be changed anyway, there are also sharp edges on the frets, but this is easy to fix !! The sound is excellent, the switch is tight as it should be and works very well !! In general, the guitar is made and assembled very high quality, the paint and varnish coating is perfect, I am delighted !! Recommend. I fell in love with this guitar!!
