Harley Benton ST-62 BK Vintage Series Reviews

Fantastic Guitar

Looks good, well built, sounds fantastic, very good price for an beautiful looking and sounding instrument.

Harley Benton

Have played accoustic before purchasing this guitar. Looked very well but could not get the tone I was looking for. Have since bought an Es335 copy and think it is worth spending a bit more on a better model. Could be my style of playing also but again could not sound right.

great for beginners

great for beginners. Litle setup and ok guitar.

Good sound for good money

Wanted Fender Stratocaster I decided to try this Harley Benton.I have two guitars from this brand and they worth the money. So I placed order.As I unpacked the guitar I was pleasantly surprised from the nice glossy paint ,roasted maple neck.The comfort of the touching.After some adjustments on the guitar action,I can say this guitar sounds and feels like real Strat.The sound has that specific Fender tone the neck is feeling good, easy for playing.The hardware is good for this price level.A lot of pleasure to play on this guitar.The price is more than good.

Solid guitar, barely any issues.

This is my second electric guitar I've bought and I can say I am impressed. Beautiful neck, awesome pickups and decent bridge. Only problems I really had was that it was so fresh out of the factory, it needed oil on the fretboard and in the bridge and tuners. There is also a proud fret, the 21st. Other than these, solid guitar, look forward to breaking it in.

Great

Feels great, sounds great, looks great, is great. Needed a little adjustment to the action and intonation, otherwise fantastic

Happy

great look, solid sound.

Amazed

First of all I was under the impression that I might need to spend a day to set up the entire guitar, you know, because of the price. To my surprise the guitar was set up perfectly, no intonation issues, action just right etc. Maybe I got lucky. Hefty guitar with amazing sound for the price you pay and

Great for beginning

It was my first guitar and it’s ok for beginner. But after a while you’ll need better guitar

Harley Benton

Very good guitar. Its reeeally worth the money. On terms of sound is almost as good as a mid price one which is really impressive for a 130€ guitar

Great for that price

Good guitar. Cheap guitar with great assembly quality. Nice for beginners and for practice lessons

St 62 bk

Phenomenal guitar, extremely good value.

Great guitar punches well above its price point

Arrived safely, no damaged. Fantastic sound. Once setup to my preference it was a joy to play. I tend to find you need to spend a good few hours playing a new guitar, get familiar with it. I made some adjustments to the pickup height and the poles,.I prefer to try get the most out of the stock hardware if possible and rarely see the need to change.

great guitars

for this price i barely have anything to complain about,

it came up setup just great out of the box, overall the newer harley benton guitars seem to have better quality control compared to a few years ago.

i love how the neck plays, the fretboard is a bit flatter compared to "classic" strats.

I heard people complain about this about some harley bentons and the fretboard is a bit dry, but it doesn't bother the playability so it isn't a concern for me.

I'm in love!

First thing you always get is the feel, first impressions count, and it's great. Wish I'd found this guitar years ago! Has everything you need for a relationship with a shiny new guitar, and you feel it immediately at one. Nothing feels cheap, sounds are there, no dead spots or dodgy frets, not too heavy either.

Snaren hebben een beetje een vervelende buzz

Great Over All

Not a Fender Strat but for the price and quality you can't go wrong, trust me this guitar is a real Strat that plays and feels like one, I got impressed since the moment I opened the box.

Playability: really easy to play.

The only minor thing I found was a few sharp fret edges that I had to filed them off, not a big issue.

Over all very happy, so far, I have purchased three Harley Benton guitars for my collection and I'm just starting, great instruments

A really solid guitar

I was looking for a cheap guitar, which looks fairly good, and plays well. The hardware were not a point as I probably was gonna replace them anyway. I think the most important part of a guitar is the neck, if it's bad, you won't like it. This guitar is the perfect platform. The neck is gorgeous, mine has some really minor dents, but all-in-all it's beautiful color and satin finish with a medium thickness gives it a wonderful feel. 22 frets are also a big plus. I've raised the degree of the neck so that the strings lay flat all the way through. Also raised the vibrato bar and set it up to float, added some graphite to the nut. This guitar is rock solid. It holds tune suprisingly well even with the vintage tuners, it even handles some divebombs if you're not extremly violent. For light vibrato use it's flawless, it holds tune nicely and sounds really good. Again, we're talking about a fully cheap spec guitar. I kid you not, this is on par with the base spec Fender strats. The pickups tho - the neck and mid pickups are really nice, but the bridge pickup lacks bass a lot. It's nice for some overdriven rock tones, but for cleans it's so flat that you would mistake it for a plank. Definitely the pickups are the weak point of this guitar, and also the cheap plastic pickguard and potentiometer knobs, but again, these are things that you can easily replace for higher quality ones.

I'm fully satisfied with this instrument and it quickly became one of my favourite guitars. 10/10 would recommend.

Dissapointing build quality

despite the nice materials used, it is not built very well. The socket for the cable became loose after 1 day and the nut on the low e string broke after 35 days of use. Dissapointing. However the sound and feel of the guitar is good.

Wow! Just Wow!

I had no idea this guitar would be this good.

I had a '66 Fender Strat that I bought new that got away in the past, but this guitar is a far better Strat than my old original one.

The neck feels better and the overall tone is much better than my old guitar was.

Totally amazing at this price point.
