Strat with Attitude "Bender"!!!!

I received this guitar it came in good quality. This has been my first purchase and since this I have ordered 4 more guitars. The active pickups are so so and definitely need to shield the inside cavity a lot of interference happening but for the price I am very happy with this guitar. Fender naw it's about the Bender

Ignore the price. It sounds like it looks, really nice.

As soon as it came out, it got my attention. A really cool matt finish, all in black, active pick-ups, a real metal machine, just what I needed. I expected good value for the money as with the previous harley benton guitars/gear I ordered.

Overall Impression:

I'm blown away by this one. The finish is excellent, it looks even better than on the photos. The pickups are definitly good with heavy distortion, but they are even inspiring to use with less distortion or even clean. It plays great, no rough edges or anything disturbing. A good weight, my Fender strat weighs more. I can't fault it. When I ordered this guitar I thought I would have to mod it later, bit suprisingly it is great out of the box.

Conclusion:

For the looks alone it's a bargain but it sounds and plays better than I would expect from a stock guitar at this pricepoint. I don't see how such a good guitar can disappoint.
