Harley Benton ST-20HSS SBK Standard Series 5-stars Reviews

Fantastic beginner's guitar!

Bought for my son as his first electric, plays and sounds great, got a feeling I'll be playing it more than him!

My friend was very pleased

This is a good choice for guitarists looking for an affordable yet quality instrument. This model offers versatility and playing comfort. Sound versatility: With the combination of one humbucker and two single coils, the guitar offers a wide range of sounds suitable for different musical genres. The guitar has a comfortable fingerboard profile and lightweight construction, making it ideal for extended playing or learning. Despite its affordable price, the guitar is made with an attention to detail and quality not often found in this price segment. The satin black colour and classic design make this guitar visually appealing. In addition to the above I would like to say that I picked this guitar up as a gift for a friend of mine who has been wanting to start learning the guitar for a long time, and he was very pleased.

Class begginer or even average player guitar

Volume is good Shape is excellent very comfortable to hold

Kid's First Electric Guitar, great choice

I don't play guitar, I play Banjo so I bought this for my daughter after looking over similarly priced second hand guitars. Unimpressed with the condition of them I started looking and was recommended HB guitars. Having previously played acoustic and knowing she wanted a Strat style I went through the various reviews and this came top as a good guitar for the price. Arrived well packaged (double boxed) and took 4 working days from Germany (I'm UK based). Postage was a very reasonable £10. For £105 total I couldn't have bought a decent condition 2nd hand from a "big" manufacturer. After unpacking I had some help setting it up. Other than dropping the action slightly it didn't need any work. The finish is excellent, looks and feels good. It has been looked at by a workmate (2 LPs amoung other guitars) and her guitar teacher they're impressed with it. Teacher is impressed enough he's considering getting a similar one for pupils. Overall I think a Good Buy for anyone wanting a guitar that is good value and plays well for a new-ish player.

A perfect cheap electric guitar

I've been playing classical guitar for 3 years, and I wanted to buy a nice but cheap electric guitar. This one blew my mind. The delivery was super quick, and the guitar for it's price just sounds so good. I changed the strings of course to get a better sound out of it but you can definitely get this guitar if you're looking for something cheap but good! Also, get a nice pedal if you want your guitar to sound different

Amazing gift!

Bought it for my girlfriend, she plays now better than me!

Actually insanely impressed with its value

When my friends looked at it, they all guessed over 200 euros for the price and were shocked by what it actually costs. As long as you replace the strings and do a quick setup (truss rod, action height, intonation, tremolo springs mostly) it sounds really great and feels incredibly high quality, especially for the price.

Outstanding

By the time I got it to my hands I can’t put I’d down

I’m really happy with the product

for the price - all 5 points

Everything about the guitar is good for its price, workmanship, sound, comfort, appearance, everything performs its functions. but in general there are also disadvantages: the tremolo is useless, the frets are far from well polished, the coating will noticeably deteriorate over time, the paint near the anchor hole completely breaks off, the tuners do not always stay in tune, although they are good for their price

does everything and is very cheap, either way i cant hear a difference beetween a 100 euro guitar and that of 500

Very affordable, fun to play

I bought this as my first guitar in july and it came perfect. No flaws or any major problem. Everytime i pick it up i play it for hours straight. 8.75/10

Great guitar

I was not surprised this guitar came in great shape. Flawless finish, spot on intonation and good action. I own a 1975 strat and this is equal to that one. Great sound and stays in tune when using the bar.

I have several Harey Bentons and all have been well made and set up. I would recommend this guitar to anyone looking for that strat sound. I love it

Amazing guitar

I am a first time customer and I have been thoroughly impressed with my experience. My guitar came within a week in perfect condition and it sounded amazing when plugged into my amp. The only downside is that near the bottom of the guitar a small part looks a bit tacky and if you look closely you can see a few wires

Beautiful light weight and great sounding Guitar!

The finish is flawless and sounds great. I would definitely buy this guitar again, or even have a couple of them!

What a pleasant surprise

The pickups are above average.

The finish of the body is great.

The finish of the neck is ok for the money.

Overall really pleasant surprise. good action and sound.

Negatives:

Doesn't hold tuning well - but apart from that have no complaints

a Fantastic instrument for small upgrades.

I love this guitar

It would be difficult to find a better electric guitar at this price. It plays excellently, sounds great, and the only thing I had to do to it was tune it up. You'll love it.

Probably the best guitar or beginners.

Value/cost ratios is without a doubt better than most. It's the perfect guitar for beginner and intermediate players as well. It has more than enough features for this price range. It's simply the perfect gift for a beginner guitarist which is why I bought it for a friend's birthday. It's a great deal for anyone who wants to start playing.

Yeahhhhh

All your products are great!Thank you

Price and Performance machine

EMG SA, which is very suitable for projects, went above its level with the set. If you do not raise your expectations too high, it is a machine that fully pays off for you.

This guitar is amazing

I bought this guitar as a backup for my €2500 Music Man St. Vincent guitar because we were going on tour of 22 shows. I used this guitar more often than the MM just because it plays great, it sounds great and , because of the matte finish, it also feels great! At about the 10th show I threw the guitar on the ground, which made it crack right through the middle and it chipped off a couple of pieces of wood. The guitar is now held together by the bridge screws and the neck.

I've used it for the 12 shows after aswell, because nothing, and I mean nothing stopped working and it still plays fantastic.

10/10, would definately advise anyone to buy this.
