Harley Benton RB-612BK Classic Series

Surprised how good it is!

I'm totally impressed by the craftsmanship, aesthetic, sound and feel. Super happy!

Fixed the Issue. It's Now GREAT!

To be honest with you, I spent the first year disliking this guitar very much! No matter how much I tinkered with the bridge .... I couldn't get the action to be reasonable at all. That's not great on a 12 string. But eventually, I realized that it wasn't a bridge adjustment at all, but a neck adjustment. The neck arrived with far too much relief and I didn't spot it. Once I made the adjustment and tightened the truss trod .... it played much much better. It's a keeper and I am now a very happy camper. Just something to check when it arrives. I missed it and shouldn't have.

great guitar

great guitar only issue is a slight bit of neck dive.

I have so many guitars, Four x 12 strings, 2 of them electric ... This has to be the best out of the box of all of them.

Makes me play it. And it looks beautiful. I only needed to tune it out of the box, which has never happened before from an un-played delivered piece. I'll probably do a few slight alterations over time but for now - Out Tha' Box SMASH! For the money ... nothing compares to Sinead!

Wow! Looks great and sounds better.

I was pleasantly surprised at how amazing the sound is on this guitar. I received this and plugged it in to my Fender Deluxe Reverb amp and it was so rich and full it blew my mind. Two things: First; the intonation is a bit tough to set because each set of strings is on one saddle, so it's a compromise. Second: The string tension is a bit much (for me) and I may change to a lighter gauge string set . I find "cowboy chords" easy enough, but going further up the neck takes a bit too much pressure to cleanly chord

Flawless!

I've been looking at this gorgeous 12 string for a while now and finally bit the bullet. I have to say, it far exceeded my expectations - it's absolutely flawless! I've chosen that word very carefully - I love it and can't find a single thing wrong with it, no matter how minor.

So perfect is it, in fact, that I have also bought the 6 string version...

For the price, amazing quality.

This is my first 12-string though, so I have no idea how others compare.

Better Than Expected

I originally bought this guitar to try out different pickups and switch configurations. It actually sounds pretty good as is! Not a $4000.00 guitar by no means, but it is put together pretty good to get someone started on a budget! Definitely recommend to anyone just starting out in the music business or as a hobby musician!

Worth it's weight in gold.

First time played today at County Fair. 7 song Tom Petty set. Sounded amazing paired with my Vox AV30. A huge win.

You will not be disappointed

Bought as a backup 12 str. Lowered action to almost nothing. I own or have owned Fender, Ric, Hofner, Douglas, Ibanez, Taylor, Dean, Yamaha. I play in a working band and I use it onstage regularly. Like all 12's the neck is slightly wider but no overly so. Guitar has a good balance and feel. No problems staying in tune, at least for a 12. Thought about stringing it like a Ric but actually I prefer the sound it already has to a Ric. The thing I like about it is the same as my Ric. I can hit the switch for an instant change in toner. I did replace the bridge with a Ric trapeze angle bridge, but just for looks and coolness.
