Harley Benton SC-200BK Mini

Only needs wider gauge strings

I was having trouble with setting it until I got 12/54 gauge strings. The strings it comes with are too thin to hold tune in open chords on the first two frets. In all other respects it is awesome!

Bought for Granddaughter

My 8yr old granddaughter loves this guitar

Somewhat better than a toy

Don't expect to get a miniature version of the otherwise brilliant Harley Benton line of guitars.

The bad stuff:

The fretboard edges are rough and uncomfortable to play

The frets are sticky

Tuners are of low quality

Volume pot is mounted way to close to the body causing it to catch as you turns it

Intonation was non-existent (sure this can happen during shipping)

No factory set up to speak of. If you are not sure how to set up your string height, intonation and neck adjustments you will have an instrument that is next to impossible to tune.

For a similar price Harley Benton has some excellent full size instruments. This is pretty much a toy.

Packaging was almost non existent and it's next to a miracle that the guitar made it in one piece.

If you are getting this instrument for your kid make sure you take it to someone who can help you set it up. If not, chances are your little one will get bored of playing guitar rather quickly since the "out of the box experience" is not very good.

The good stuff:

Looks cool

Very playable for the price!

Everything works as expected.....

Neck and frets are smooth.No sharp edges......

The finisch is more than good.

Don't forget ,this is a 100 euro guitar......

I founded the strings to light for this scalelenght.

I am not a schredder......

I putted flatwound 11-50 on and adjusted the bridge.

Plays very well with lots of sustain and a nice clean tone........

The pickups are passive(what I prefer) and the pots and switch are very usefull......

Perfect guitar to chill in the canapé........
