Harley Benton RB-600BK Classic Series

Nice guitar but.....

I received the guitar only with a day of delay. The instrument looks really nice but unfortunately the bridge is quite completely unscrewed. They labeled the guitar as "inspected" before shipping.... I wonder what they inspected...... More money to have it set from a professional luthier....

Super!

Do not expect anything extraordinary from this guitar (except for its look of course). I was therefore slightly disappointed with the RB-600BK. There are no obviously major flaws with it, but overall it's not of the same high standard as my other Harley Benton guitars. We All Know that Pickups, Strings Machine Heads Knobs ETC. Can be improved so Go And Spend 3 Grand Then.Straight out of the box the Action was very good, But I did tweak it a little as I like really Low Action.

HB RK600BK

Nice playing guitar. The only problem is the pickup selector switch will not engage both pickups at the same time.

A great guitar for the price

I ordered this guitar with minimal expectations. Usually, when you order something this inexpensive, you plan to do a little work to get it up to your own playing standards. In this case, however, I was pleasantly surprised. I read the other reviews and took note of some of the complaints early on, and it appears they’ve been address quite well. The neck is like a thin C-shape, the frets are dressed and rolled superbly, and the action is nice and low without any fret buzz. And the sound…these pickups are really nice!

All-in-all, a great little guitar for the price. If this is how they always come, I’ll be ordering more very soon!

Perfect out of the box, just needed minimal tuning and stretching

Being the only €200 lookalike based on a range of €4000 guitars, I didn't expect much. I was pleasantly surprised. It performs excellently as a hollow-body guitar and has a twang that reminds one of early Beatles.

Far Exceeds My Expectation!!!

This guitar, Harley-Benton RB600BK is a fantastic electric guitar, and at an unbelievable price! Even with the rapid shipping cost to USA, this is a guitar player's dream.

Good for its price

Do not expect anything extraordinary from this guitar (except for its look of course). However it is quite good for its price. The main advantage of it are its classic rick-like look and weight. In terms of tone it is quite universal with satisfactory clean tone and well sounding distorted. As for disadvantages: a weird construction of bridge - be careful while replacing strings, do not remove all strings at once, otherwise you may spend hours to discover how the bridge was originally set. The string tension is the only thing to hold it in its proper place (as far as I know it's a feature of original rick-o-matics). The quality of its assembly isn't immaculate but satisfactory hence it is better to do some adjustments (strings' and pickup height) after purchasing

Rick on a Stick

Bought for my girlf (her daughter has a real Rick ) fr shorter scale ...£2000 difference ...NO great looking fun player .......good for rhytmn players ....no one plays lead on top spec Ricks

Love it

Love this guitar. Firstly though I'm no expert; I'm 61, was widowed last year and also retired due to health reasons so decided to revisit my youth and pick up my guitar again after a long hiatus. At that stage I just had the one guitar (an excellent Epiphone dot) and now I have fourteen, this is one of my favourites. I can't get into techie details because I'm not qualified to but imho it looks amazing, it sounds amazing and was totally playable out of the box. Extremely happy with it, so much so that I might buy a sunbuest one next.

Better than a Rickenbacker 325 C64...

..Not better, but it is quite easily on par with it. Mine arrived from Germany to California within a week shipped UPS. No major issues with transport: though the RickOmatic was slightly askew, so a little adjustment there was required: There was some buzzing going on with the 6th string, and that cured the issue straightaway. No intonation issues at all to speak of. The neck is perfectly straight without any need of trussed adjustment. The frets are buttery smooth--unlike the sprout issues found in some other reviews. No major visual spots to be seen inside the f hole...it looks like there is some extra lacquer in there, though. Tuners are WAY better than I imagined!! Day one: I beat the crap out of it with a few early Beatles, and it stayed in tune 100% perfectly! The only thing that bugged me was some shrink-wrap under the filtertrons that I can't remove cleanly due to it being under the pickups support plate. That's just a minor visual issue anyway.

Straightaway, This guitar is a stunning value for the money...

For about 14% the cost of a 4K Ripoff-enbacker the Harley Benton RB 600BK is a major score. It looks stunning, The Lennon vibe is there. BTW: this guitar has no issues going through customs because it is not pretending to be an illegal. junky pirated copy.
