Harley Benton R-457MN WH Progressive Series 5-stars Reviews

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.

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.

My first 7-string love

I saw this guitar live from a friend and fell in love with it from the first touch, I immediately liked the sound, how it lies in my hand, its shape. I ordered the same one the next day, everything came quickly and neatly, in the near future I will order something else in addition <3

Mega Quality for the price

This is my first 7 string, and I'm really impressed. The quality is incredible and the only sound issue I've found is the frets stick out a bit, so you get a bit of noise from the strings. Overall, I think this guitar is definetely worth it, and a good cheap 7 string for beginners.

Perfect 7 string not only for start

I don't mean to fanboy Harley Benton, but being without choice, I had to buy 2 guitars quickly due to stolen goods. Well - I did not expect, that I would order 3rd guitar branded by HB, the 7 string is really a great deal for its price. You won't get a better piece for this price

I've played 7 string Ibanez and the quality between these is really not too far away. I am a drummer primarily, so the opinion might be a bit exaggerated, but not only I have praised the overall quality vs price regarding the instrument.

There was no single scratch, the package came quickly, like it's been sent domestically. 2 guitars came in a slick package, hope that the next one will serve good as well

Frets are distributed evenly and firmly, humbuckers are not muddy at all. Playing through Fender Bullet Amp and audio interface - no noises. Weight distribution is perfect. Scale for long fingers like mine is great, just as fretboard width

The best seven-string guitar for its price!

The guitar is very light. I was pleased with the tuning of the guitar. The build quality is close to ideal, but there are minor bumps. The only drawback was not very high-quality pegs, but this is not critical (especially considering the price). The rest of the jambs did not reveal, a great guitar to get acquainted with the worlds of seven strings)

P. S. Thank you to the seller for putting the cable in the kit!

Absolute Bargin

For the Price you pay I expected less, but I was wrong.

The guitar itself feels great, the pickups sounds great for the price you pay for. The neck is super comfortable to play especially if you're new to the 7 string world like me. I have not stop playing it since it came to my doorstep.

If you want a 7 string Just get this, it's worth every penny.

Great for the price, well set up with good action.

Great guitar

The quality is perfect, but, apparently, due to the delivery, there is a dent on the tip of the headstock, as if the guitar had hit. But this dent is completely invisible. Unfortunately, there are no cutoffs, but for the price it is simply a masterpiece. The sound is good. Tuned the height of the strings on 1 string <1.5 mm, at 7 ~ 2 mm.

Sexy beast

As this is in white, u would expect some angel singing.

Heck no!

This is a beast!

only issue i have is the fret wires arent as smooth.

Real Nice

I ordered this guitar for my 13 year old grandson, it is his second Harley Benton guitar (he owns 13 different guitars). He wanted a 7 string guitar and this one fits the bill. He is thrilled with the style, looks, and the sound. No cons so far to mention.

Decent 7 string

I wanted to buy a new guitar to really experiment on so I decided to buy a 7 string. I didn't want to spend that much money so i bought this one and let me tell you it actually is much better than i thought it'd be. The overall look and feeling is nice. The neck was smooth and the fret ends weren't sharp at all. I had to adjust the action a little but now it play perfectly. The only small problem are the pickups. They are quite muddy sounding but I could easily change them out. Overall the build and finish quality was nice apart from a couple small dents in the belly cut that were then finished over but that doesnt bother me at all. Overall a pretty decent guitar for the money
