Not just great for the money. Just Great.

I have had this guitar a little over a year and have had no issues at all with it. It looks good, sounds good, is easy to play, stays in tune, etc. I have nothing bad to say about it. I highly recommend this guitar. It is great as it is, or if you want to mod it more to your liking. Worth every penny.

Fantastic guitar.

I already have the SC-550ll FTF , which is superb. I couldn’t resist this at £195.

Beautiful instrument. I can’t fault it.

It is very similar the FTF in colour and very handsome.

Has full size pots too.

Strangely, at 8lb 4oz, it is heavier then the FTF at 7lb 5oz, but still good for this type of guitar.

Un-real quality for the price!

I really wanted a LP style Guitar. This was my second HB Guitar and I am blown away by the looks, feel and sound. The Tesla pick-ups are great.

I added alpha split pots to give it more range. Other than fresh strings which I change on all Guitars it is flawless!

Almost perfect

After watching what seemed like endless YouTube review videos, I chose this gorgeous guitar. It took a few hours shy of one week to ship to me in Texas. It arrived undamaged from shipping but there were two issues. The volume pot for the bridge pickup was bad and made static when turning up the volume. Also, the three way selector had a bad solder connection which broke loose. Having fixed all of that, I'm blown away at how good this instrument feels and plays. You won't find a better instrument for the money. I'll definitely be buying again!

Terrible QA - scratches

Lots of swirling scratches on the back andn some on the side.

Very disappointed - as this should not have been passed by QA - you're paying for the lovely paint job as well as playability.

Unbelievable Value!

I was blown away at the Quality of this Guitar... I could not find one flaw.

I prefer metal style of playing, but wanted to get a single cut design and I am very pleased at the versatility of this one. Bright, clean sound. At this price it is a no brainer.

Better than I expected

Straight out of the box it was playable. Just a few set-up adjustments and it was awsome. It really lives up to all that is said about it.

Frets are smooth and dressed very nicely, no fret sprout at all.

The neck joint contour is incredible

The shipping was amazingly fast. I received it in 4 days.

Overall it's a very nice guitar.

Amazing Value!!!

This was my third Harley Benton guitar that I ordered and my favorite so far. Other than adjusting the action and cleaning and oiling the fretboard this guitar is flawless right out of the box. Beautiful, excellent fret work,and great tone! I can’t think of another guitar under $900 that even comes close to this level of quality. Love it!
