Harley Benton SC-550 II PAF

pros: instrument is built well, tuners hold tune good, pickups sound above average, electronics are good with alpha pots

cons: instrument was unplayable out of the box mainly because of the nut - very badly cut and misplaced about 2 mm on one side so low E was almost out of the neck. After placing the nut centered realised that nut is smaller than the neck about 1 mm ... so it is wrong size nut to begin with. Action at first frets was so high that it was impossible to play. Fretwork is not good either..few taller frets that are easy to fix but some have toolmarks on them quite deep. Finish flaws are there but at this price point i'm not expecting PRS quality finish

Looks good but not QC

So 4 day delivery to USA was great! When I opened it looks perfect. Action was a tad high. Finish and overall quality is perfect, looks great.

Only problem I have is the 3 way switch only works with the neck pick up. I get no sound at all when I put it in middle position or bridge position. All ready got rid of packing so will end up coming out of pocket to fix it. Otherwise it looks and sounds great. I guess the electronics or QC are not what they could be.
