Very good quality and sound

Impressive quality

Hi! First of all I must say I play guitar at home. I own a HB CST-24 which I'm so happy with but I wanted to try and switch to a Les Paul model, and what better than trying another HB guitar?

The guitar looks really pretty. The finishes are good enough (you can see some imperfections in the binding but nothing important).

In terms of sound, I think a pickup swap would be great to have a better experience but it sounds really good and it is powerful enough for home. I use a Blackstar Id:core 20 watt amp and the mix guitar-amp sounds great. It stays in tune without any problem. I think HB make a really with work with the tuners of their guitars because my CST-24 never gets out of tune and the same happens with this one.

An advice, please, please, please change the strings as soon as you receive your guitar. I played with them and it is not a good experience, changed them by new ones and everything went really smoother.

Not so much to add. It is a really good guitar as starting (and continuing) point because it is beautiful, solid and sounds good even if it is not made of basswood. It worth every euro it costs.

Pros:

Beautiful.

Solid.

Good sound.

It keeps in tuning.

Cheap.

Cons:

Strings by default are crappy.

Enjoy that pretty and cheap great guitar!

amazing guitar

I love this guitar, the only thing wrong was some cracking around the binding. I can live with that. I love the look the tone the feel....there is nothing I dont enjoy about it.

A great guitar for the money

Wow, I'm so glad I bought this guitar. For the money, it's a great instrument. Fretwork is great, I didn't notice anything wrong with the paint and it stays in tune decently enough.

The side dots seem to be covered by a bit too much clear coat, making them a little blurry but still very visible so not really a problem. The pickups are kinda weak, but that's just personal preference.

All in all, it's a great guitar at a low price. Also, it got here pretty quick! I live in Ga. in the US and it only took a little over a week to arrive. I'm VERY happy with it!

WAY better than expected.

After all the YouTube buzz I had to find out if these Harley Benton guitars were really that good. I can say after playing on it for a few days now that they are indeed that good. The only con I have is that I'm not a big fan of the tuners, but that's a very minuscule con and the pros massively out weight any con these guitars. Shipping to the US didn't take long and package came intact with no damage.

lovely guitar

I already have several Harley Benton guitars

I bought this for the purpose to make it into a James Hatfield guitar replacing all hardware for black and adding a pair of EMG 81/85.

This guitar feels grate to play on and sounds really good too and it's mostly good quality throughout, the 3 way switch is not of the best quality though it wobbles from side to side. therefore 4 stars

Tuners are good and it stays in tune very well, intonation was almost perfect just a little adjustment and string action can be set really low without problems.

Although I did order the WH I did get the VW instead witch suppressed me at first as I though it should have been more white but after a few hours of playing I'm actually happy that they made this mistake in packaging
