Harley Benton MultiScale-7 TPB 3-stars Reviews

probably one of the best inexpensive ways to enter multiscale

this is the first multiscale 7 string I ever bought and i'm relatively happy with it as an introduction to the multiscale world. with a bit of tinkering like replacing the strings with higher gauge ones, oiling up the fretboard and adjusting the truss rod it is a great 7 string for its price. the things I had a bit of an issue with are that the frets are very sharp on the side and the pickups are a LITTLE bit on the spongey sounding side. The tuners are also not very accurate. might be the nut, or both. apart from the points above, I am very happy with the guitar. recommended for if you don't want to break the bank for a 7 string multiscale.

Solid 7 string but with some issues

I'll start off by saying I enjoy the feel and playabilty of this guitar but there are some issues.

The tuners are very jumpy, i could be turing it for neary halfway around before getting the pitch to change and when it downs it'll jump to being too sharp/flat. locking mechanisms aren't great.

Pickups are very muddy and alot weaker than i expected.

it's not bad but it could be better. There aren't many video reviews of this guitar but Andrew baena has a video on the 8 string model which has similar issues so you can equate the same to this.

The reason i kept it even with this issues is that they can be solved with after market parts anyways. which makes it a good mod platform. i really like the 5 piece neck and its been a great intriduction into multiscale guitars
