Perfect beginner rig

Works just fine in standard tuning although much more stable a step up. Such a fun little guitar. I wish this was an option for me when I was a kid.

Price/peformance on the road, by your office desk, by your bed

First of all, I have been using this guitar for almost five months. I have to travel a lot, and I also wanted to keep a small guitar next to my desk so I can fiddle in between meetings and calls. It was so cheap that I decided to give it a go; worst case, I would just give it away to a beginner. But after I change the strings with thicker gauges and set the intonation, it becomes a beast; I am also planning to use this for the real gigs since the tone is not that bad, and I am already using pedals. I recommend this guitar to particularly those who know how to do setups on their own guitars (since paying for a setup won't be worth it) or anyone who seeks a small and price/performance guitar either for fiddling or to encourage an enthusiastic youngling (yeah this guitar looks cool!).

Intonation problem but great playability

Fantastic value for money, even more when purchased as a set with amp, etc. Only tuning pegs are a bit low quality, but no complain at this price. The intonation has been a bit of a problem though, not been able to adjust correctly the low E string. For most people would not be a big deal but, for music teachers like me, it's more of a problem.

Very Good for my 7ys old

I bought it for my 7ys old son and I'm very happy. It is not a PRS but is

is exceptional value, plays very well. I've put a set of 11/52 strings and it tuned to standard E just fine.

Excellent first electric when your child wants to move on from the acoustic.

Good quality first electric short scale for those tiny fingers! Good build quality and your child will appreciate the good looks of the guitar and decent sound. Mum or Dad may even pick it up occasionally! Don't forget, this little gem, (no pun intended), needs a setup with string action etc. Njoy!

Wow!

I ordered this for my 10 year old who has recently started showing an interest in playing the guitar. To be honest I wasn't expecting much as the price seemed so cheap. But. . . Wow.

Firstly the guitar looks amazing. The paintwork is flawless all the hardware is gleaming and the neck is probably the best neck I've seen compared to all the other guitars I've owned. The fretwork is amazing, it almost looks too perfect.

Even though Harley Benton says to tune to an A instead of E I tuned it to an E to give it a go and it did slip out of tune every so often mainly just the high E sting.

I changed the strings to .11's and now this thing is perfect! I definitely recommend changing to 11 gauge strings if you want to tune to standard E tuning.

Sounds great acoustically and sounds really nice plugged in too so no complaints there

It's the perfect size for a 10 year old and it's super lightweight. Really only positives to say about this guitar! Now I want a Harley Benton for myself.

I was originally planning on getting the ibanez 3/4 guitar but glad I got this instead!

And my kid loves it which Is the main thing! Really impressed with this guitar!

WOW!!!

Much, much better than I ever expected for the money. I was totally surprised by everything about this little guitar. Works so well with me sitting in a wheelchair. I can play again with comfort. Back in the land of the living not just existing.
