Harley Benton ST-20HSS CA Standard Series 5-stars Reviews
much better than you might expect
This is my first electric guitar, I have been playing acoustic guitar for 30 years, I tried to play in local stores for a long time, I touched many instruments up to 200 euros, and I didn't like one, and this guitar turned out to be better than 200 guitars.
pros: price, quality, price-quality ratio, easy to modify.well packaged, shipped quickly
cons: at this price is not and can not be
in my opinion, this guitar here should be like the first for you, and even if you buy the third one for even 1000, you will play this inexpensive strata caster more than once.
Mine had a slight problem with the humbucker but they sent a replacement and it's good :P.
First guitar and first order
This is the first guitar that I bought myself, and I do not regret anything, the quality is excellent, it certainly doesn’t sound like an expensive fender, but I don’t perform on stage) Now I plan to take a more expensive guitar at this Harley Benton
Lovely Strat for intermediate players.
This guitar is crafted with quality in mind.It is very playable and handy. I would probably install better strings and potentially better pickups. But even with the state it came in a package it absolutely gorgeous.
A Beautiful Guitar
Love the feel and playability. Beautiful red finish on the body. It's worth every penny I paid for it. Thank you Harley Benton.

Great guitar
This is my second Stratocaster. The first was without any identification marks bought on aliexpress. I just want to say that as soon as I picked up this HB, I immediately realized that I was holding a tool,and not what I had before, made of sawdust. Immediately connected the guitar to the combo that I ordered with it. And Oh my God, the guitar sounded, I couldn't get that sound from my previous one, although I will say that the Chinese fake when using the guitar processor sounded good. But this guitar is fire. Fonit importantly, my previous guitar was a little given the background, not critical, but still. The tremolo works well, I had to make great efforts, although they look very similar and the tremolo is the same system. The pins on the neck turn well, without jamming. Generally satisfied with the purchase!!!
Awersome first choise!
It sounds good, out of the box have really great adjust and tuning quality. So we able to just take it and play after a little bit tune of course
Default strings have nice quality as well
Perfect guitar for the beginner
I started to learn playing guitar for qite not so long, and i always dreamed about electroguitar, and now my dream came true! This is a really cheap but well made instrument. I wanted to buy some used guitar or something new in this price here in Russia, but i understood, that these instruments...well it`s quite awful to hold them even. Here ewerything was all right. It sounds good, everything works just as it should. There was one thing about it - the humbucker. Tape around the pickup unsticked a bit...but it doesn`t make sounding bad. I can freely recomend that strat for every beginner. There are two singles and one humbucker and it worth)
Buy a guitar for 60 euros and not be disappointed?
Yes.
At first sight. Excellent surface finish. Red-frosted Apple for Christmas. Plastic on 4+. The neck is great. Good polished frets. Bridge is simple, the quality of the metal is 3+. Slightly scratches the palm, not critical.
Sound.
It sounds and sounds good. You should understand that this is a super cheap guitar. And at a price of 66 euro, this is a bomb. 60 euro is the price of sneakers. Put this red Apple next to a pair of sneakers and think about it. If you are a beginner and just starting to play the guitar, this instrument is for you. With all the problems, it is still a great musical instrument at a very good price. Don't expect a miracle from her. But perhaps this guitar will open the door to the world of music. And you will remember it as the key to these doors.
Highly recommend.
A Novice Review
I'm bad at guitar. I have only been playing for two months, and the past month was with this guitar nearly exclusively and I honestly love it.
Maybe it was moving from my housemate's rusty old acoustic to this but it feels very friendly to my beginner fingers. The frets are a bit high which felt odd at first but I don't feel them at all any more.
It feels sturdy enough and I'm able to get a wide range of sound out of it but, again maybe it's my untrained ear but it really doesn't feel like the tone knobs do much of anything. I feel slight change in brightness and very small changes in clarity when I move them around but that is my only complaint.
Otherwise, a solid guitar and I thought I was being lazy buying one of the cheapest ones on the market to start with but it really paid off.
great
fretboard was done very well, everything is oley for this price
Fantastic Guitar
Really impressed with this guitar. Action was set up well and not too high, no rough frets and joints all neat. The paint finish is flawless. Stys in tune well. Had I paid 3 times the price I would have thought this was good value. At this price, unbelieveable.
Perfect
Everything is perfect with this guitar, simply amazing! sounds great!! :D
This product is very good quality for the price the only fault I could find was a couple of sharp fret ends which was very quickly put right. Setup was good frets nice and even sounds good finish for this price amazing , anyone thinking of buying this this guitar and doesn’t want to break the bank should just get it. You cannot get better for this price anywhere. I feel a little guilty running away with this for no money at all.
ridiculous
Flawless finish, sounds great. Sure, some parts feel a bit cheap (tuners and knobs for example), but everything is working properly. Fretboard was very dry, but a bit of conditioner (I used dAndrea Lemon Oil) solved that.
Some notes:
- the pickguard is not completely white. There are some blue marks in it that I can't see on the photos. Not sure if this is intended or not.
- the upper right corner of the trem plate is nicked, but if you look closely so is the one on the photos. I'm not sure if i got the exact guitar from the photos, more likely all are like this.
- the end of the fretboard behind the nut is not evenly cut, but this is almost invisible after conditioning it.
This is really just nitpicking and things you really need to look for to notice. For the price it's worth getting even if you just want to hang it on the wall as decoration because it looks stunning.
Incredible for the money
I really can't believe how good this guitar is. Especially considering how little it cost. The overall build quality is great along with the fit and finish. All superb. I like it so much that I'm going to buy the matt-black version too as a project. :)
