Harley Benton R-456FR BK Progressive Series 5-stars Reviews

Cheaper guitar with original Floyd Rose

I was interested to buy this guitar when I read its specification which mentioned that this guitar has Floyd Rose Special Locking Tremolo System....and price of this guitar only 148Euro...then i see in Floyd rose website, retail price for Floyd Rose Special is around 83 Dollars....then, since i know the price of the tremolo and price of the guitar, I have a question, is this guitar made from real wood?...then is it...

I received this guitar and it just like my expectation...sound great with stable tremolo...nothing special with the finishing, but I like black and that's enough...I like it hambuckers pick up but I've decided to change it with some Seymour duncan or Dimarzio...for it price, for me this guitar and its specification is ideal to be some upgrade project...

Good copy of the real thing

So after a nice toy to play with wanting a little bit of a chred machine i decided to go with this as i wouldnt be using it that much compared to the other guitars i have.

I am very impressed the pickups are very good indeed, i wouldnt say they are high output but they do scream (what i mean is volume isnt overly loud but the sound is such) and give the high output sound. They also clean up very well with a little roll off of the volume, and if you want a bit of grit leave the volume up and a bit of clean tone and they break up well.

The finish is immaculate as i have come to expect with the Harley bentons i have now had.

The part i was most worried about was the trem, it does seem to do its job and do its job well, im not into huge dive bombs etc but using it for "mild trem use" it returns to tune each time and i've had no problems at all as yet

The only con i have found is that one of the pots is a little scratchy
