Harley Benton ST-20LH SB

Great guitar at a crazy price!

I own more than 25 guitars lefty in every budget level so I am pretty familiar with what to expect with an entry level guitar. I have to say that I was blown away with the quality of the ST-20. For a guitar that came in well under $100 it is ridiculously nice. It played great out of the box. I lowered the action quite a bit and still had no issues with buzzing or fretting out. The fretwork is better than some of my guitar that cost five times as much. No sharp frets anywhere to be found. The pickups are usable and sound decent. The neck pickup isn’t quite as clear and warm as I’d like but it’s not bad. The weakest point on the entire guitar is the tuners. They skip quite a bit when tuning but I have to say they do hold tuning quite well despite it. The paint job looks fantastic with zero blemishes to be found.

I’m completely happy with my purchase and I’m thinking about buying one of the other colors too, even though I really don’t need it. :)

Great for the price

Bought for my son,well set up straight out of the box sounds like a strat should for this great price

Brilliant and well made guitar. Prices are also amazing.

Feedback

Guitar looks very nice but sometimes u can notice a little imperfection

and this is ok cause guitar costs only 67 eur.

Stunning!

I originally purchased the red one with the Maple neck and was blown away by it so much that I bought this one! I have to say I prefer this neck as its slightly bigger and feels more like a "Strat". Its a great guitar and plays great straight out of the box. Only upgrade I did was tuners, the ones that are stock are good but i like the extra security of upgrading them to Wilkinsons. Its very playable and has great tomes on every pick up, only flaw I would say is the volume pot, rolling off dampens the tone a little but for this price range I cant complain. Would make a great first guitar for a beginner or a workhorse for a seasoned pro, they are great value and the finish on them are way above their price point.

Buy 3 of them for the price of a Squier

I mean... 79€! What more can you ask for?

It sounds great, looks and feel solid, no fret issue and the sunburst looks gorgeous.

Received mine with a slight bump on the headstock but again, transport issue, not product related.

jus one star missing in the quality section regarding tuners. They do the job but seems to get out of tune a bit faster than other HB instruments I own.

I anyway don't see it as an issue as a good set would cost me more than the whole guitar.

Impossibly good value

I've been playing acoustic guitars on and off for years, decided to get an electric to mix things up a bit. The only thing I have to compare it to is a cheap strat I had years ago; this is such a huge improvement in terms of playability. Out of the box the action was perfect, it stays in tune nicely, I really can't believe it's so cheap. Hard to find flaws at this price, but I will be replacing the tuners with HB locking tuners. Apart from that this completely scratches my strat itch, but I'm now keen to buy the basic HB tele and the SC-550.

A great option for beginners. It will help you get the basic skills of using the tool. The neck is very comfortable, the strings are quite good from the factory. There are no cosmetic defects. I got to Russia without any problems. Of the inconveniences, only the interfering volume knob can be noted, it rests on the palm when playing aggressively, but this is a problem for all stratocaster.

Can’t believe how they can do it at the price

Well how can I describe this guitar because I don’t want use the word at this price

This guitar would grace any collection it’s as good as my Epiphones , squires, are my vintage

It came setup once tuned it played brilliantly so I can happily recommend this guitar to anyone ( buy one) if you’re not happy just send it back the staff are also easy to speak to and very helpful
