Harley Benton R-457MN WH Progressive Series

Very good seven string guitar

I love it! The neck is very convenient for my rather small hand. The action and intonation are very good. And the whole instrument is flawlessly beautiful. About pickups. I love this very pickups because they sing. Their sound is beautifully warm. Some people consider it muddy. But I prefere warm voicing. It`s versatile. With such a voicing you can play not only extreme metal, but rock, blues, indi, even jazz. The only flaw, IMHO, is the pickup selector position. It might be closer to the bridge pickup, so switching pickups during playing might be faster and more convenient.

Great quality for the price point!

Lovely looking and great playing guitar. Action nice and low, came set up nicely and even tuned out of the box! Had always wanted a 7 string and this was a great choice. Love it!

Good 7 string

This is my first 7 string, the sound and quality are perfect, i was suprised by how good it is for the price i have no issues with it, the knobs are a bit stiff but still smooth that's about the only thing but i don't change the knobs so it's not important, looks amazing and sounds amazing, the tunes doesn't change drastically one day from another, hardly needs tuning. Delivery came as expected too, this is a great beginner 7 string, would recommend.

great guitar for the price!

nice pickups, good finish!

A solid workhorse

I've used this for about a year and a half now as my backup guitar, and I've got nothing to complain about. For this price you get an entry level 7-string with minimal features, but it gets the job done if you want to chug away. Frets aren't the fastest, and you'll need some thicker gauges if you want to tune down with a 25in scale.

Highly recommend if this is your first 7-string and you just want to test the waters.

A solid guitar for beginners and intermediate players.

Initially I was very skeptical about this guitar. But I was on the hunt for something cheap to return to the hobby after years of absence , and after reading reviews as well as hearing all kinds of positive feedback from Harley Benton owners I decided to bite the bullet and get it.

This guitar has no right to be this cheap. Superb quality from the neck and the body all the way to the electronics. It's not a one grand guitar with top of the line pickups or expensive tremolo systems but it's presisely what a new or returning guy needs.

To get started , for cheap and without having a million headaches about all sorts of imperfections or mechanical problems. I specifically write this review for the 7 stringed variant but I am sure one could expect the same quality from the 6 or 8 stringed variant too!

Bought this on like a gift to our guitar player. He was pissed off )))) small hands he said. So we found a knew guitar player 😸

WHAT A SURPRISE!

This is an amazing guitar for the price. For anyone looking to decide whether 7 string is for them, this is a great option.

Medium jumbo frets are installed really well, action and intonation decent straight out of the box. Tuning holding well. Overall a really fun guitar, highly recommend.

Great Sound

Great sounding guitar, arrived in perfect condition. Playable out of the box.

Ordered lockable tuners for it, the tuner for 7th string is slightly unstable.

I have been tempted to buy this guitar for quite some time, I would highly recommend purchasing if you are thinkinh about it!

Horrible fretwork even for the price

Sharp edges of frets literally kill the desire to play the guitar. The neck was in wood dust when I pick the guitar from the box. Of course, everything can be fixed, but it isn't worth the effort
